You'll Like My Mother by Naomi A. Hintze

Pregnant Francesca finds herself a widow at a young age after her husband is sent to Vietnam. Without support from her family, she embarks on a cross-country journey to her late husband's family home in Ohio. While she's never met her mother-in-law, she hopes that she will be welcomed in. His childhood home, though, is nothing like she was told it was–and her new mother-in-law might be more dangerous than she anticipated.  Recommended in this episode: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline NEWS: We have a Bookshop.org shop now!
