Betty is a beautiful novel by author Tiffany McDaniel.
A beautiful, lyrical novel set in the foothills of the Appalachians about a young girl and family truths that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

The Story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father. Betty is the sixth child in a family of eight siblings. The world they live in in the rural town of Breathed, Ohio, is a world of poverty and violence – both from outside the family and, more terrible, from within. But despite the difficulties she faced, Betty remained resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her intense love for her sisters. Her father’s wonderful story is igniting the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of everything she witnesses, Betty discovers a way out.
