A Hopeless Dawn Hardcover

A Hopeless Dawn

Book One of the Hopeless Dawn Series · Historical Fiction

In a hard coastal world that gave its women little and asked everything of them, one woman's endurance becomes a story you won't forget.

The novel that opens the Hopeless Dawn series, A Hopeless Dawn carries readers to a windswept shore of fishing boats, salt, and grief, where survival is a daily act of will and hope is the most dangerous thing a woman can hold onto. Jill George writes the overlooked lives of the coast with a lyrical hand and a historian's eye — the labor, the loss, and the quiet, unbreakable strength that history never bothered to record.

Sweeping, atmospheric, and deeply human, it's the beginning of a series readers return to again and again.

"The lyrical narrative is a joy to read… as thrilling as it is educational." — Readers' Favorite
