“A rediscovered treasure.” —The Washington Post
From Betty Smith, beloved author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, comes a poignant novel of love, marriage, poverty, and hope in 1920s Brooklyn.
Margy Shannon has always dreamed of a better life—one free from the bitterness and hardship that have worn down her parents. Her simple dreams include finding a husband, raising children, and creating a warm, stable home where love replaces fear. When she meets Frankie Malone, it feels like her future is finally falling into place.
But when tragedy strikes, Margy’s unwavering optimism is shaken. As she struggles to rebuild, she must decide: accept the life she’s given, or fight for the one she truly wants.
Told with Betty Smith’s signature warmth and insight, Tomorrow Will Be Better is a timeless tale of resilience and quiet courage.
