About Safekeeping
It is 2027, and with the country embroiled in multiple international conflicts, a draft has been instituted in the United States. When Tenley Ward’s 19-year-old son draws a low lottery number, she mobilizes fellow PTA mothers in Dallas, Texas, to form the anti-draft organization MOMS — Mothers Opposing More Senselessness.
Unpacking the contradictions of motherhood, the devastation of grief, the blind spots of privilege, the fuel of desire, and one’s own purpose, SAFEKEEPING is a thoughtful, poignant novel that will remain with you long after the last page is turned.
