"You give a girl a taste of fresh air and then you take it away-she'll grow fierce and wild to get it back." Oxford, Mississippi, 1933. Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one. Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she's been one of the "unadoptable" big girls at the town's orphanage where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed. When she meets Birdie, a young woman set on confronting the socialite sister who believes she's left her impoverished family behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future. But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie discovers her sister's charmed life is balanced precariously upon a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose. Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women. But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences... Bold, heartwarming, and riotously funny, The Calamity Club is an unforgettable story of resilience and friendship, and a sisterhood of underestimated women who risk everything to take back control of their fates.
