Sadie Lockhart grew up on the Lockhart farm, a place where silence was expected and usefulness was the closest thing to affection. Hidden deep in the hills, she was raised far from the world, and the Lockharts made certain no one knew she existed.

Because Sadie had been stolen.

Years pass, and the child who learned to survive becomes a woman known for something very different. In a small town in The Glens, Sadie earns quiet respect for the way she works, the way she helps without being asked, and the steady kindness she offers others while asking almost nothing for herself.

But a life built on survival leaves shadows.

As pieces of the past begin to surface, Sadie must confront truths long hidden. What she discovers will ask her to decide whether the life that was taken from her defines her, or the one she fought to build.

Set against the stark beauty of rural Appalachia, A Feed Sack Dress for Sadie is a haunting and deeply human novel about identity, endurance, and the quiet dignity of a woman who built a life from almost nothing.

Perfect for readers who loved Where the Crawdads Sing, Before We Were Yours, and The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.
