Lady Tremaine

 Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser (2026), 352 pages

Mother's always know that sometimes hard choices need to be made for the future of your children. Sometimes those choices make you appear to be an evil Stepmother in the eyes of the very children you are protecting. This novel is a loose twist on Cinderella. It follows Etheldreda as she navigates surviving twice-widowhood in a crumbling house with little income, and three daughters who are coming of age. I don't want to give too much away, but it is a great look into single-parenthood, the resourcefulness of fake-it to you make-it(ish), and standing up for what is right while staying true to yourself. This is an imaginative take on the story and definitely worth a read.
