Crown

Jude Woods, a single mother in the American Southwest, faces eviction from her trailer park. With her young children, Evan and Virginia, and a new baby on the way, she has only three days to find a new home. This is the heart-wrenching reality for many navigating the challenges of poverty and motherhood.

Evanthia Bromiley's Crown illuminates a different path. It tells the story of Jude's resilience as she endures labor and a crowded hospital, while her children embark on a desperate journey to find safety. This narrative captures the struggles and dreams within forgotten blue-collar America, showcasing the tenacious spirit of a family and their community.

Crown is a compelling debut in Contemporary Fiction. This work of Literary Fiction masterfully explores the intersection of poverty and motherhood, offering a suspenseful and lyrical survival story. It is a profound look at living and dreaming when opportunities seem scarce, making it a standout in Fiction & Nonfiction.
