Publisher's Synopsis
The much-anticipated sequel to Barbara J. Taylor's best-selling debut novel, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night (Akashic, 2014), picking up 16 years after it left off. All Waiting Is Long tells the stories of the Morgan sisters, a study in contrasts. In 1930, 25-year-old Violet travels with her 16-year-old sister Lily to an infant asylum in Philadelphia so Lily can deliver her illegitimate child in secret. Five years later, they are back home in Scranton, one married, one about to be, both finding their way in a place where a woman's worth is tied to her virtue.
