Based on a true story. A disgraced nurse. A grieving socialite. A mentally challenged young
woman. One baby.
Chicago, 1937. The Elizabeth Sullivan Home for Destitute and Degenerate Women is a
crumbling Victorian mansion on the city’s South Side where women go when they have nowhere
else to turn.
Marian Walters arrives at the Home as a disgraced nurse hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she is
drawn to Opal Olson, a mentally challenged girl who turns up at the Home unable—or
unwilling—to explain who she is or where she came from, carrying only a worn quilt and a small
bag of paper fortunes. The more Marian learns about Opal, the more desperate she becomes to
discover the girl’s secrets while hiding her own.
Across the city in a Drexel Boulevard mansion, wealthy socialite Evelyn Porter is suffocating
beneath her mother's expectations and her own private grief. After a stay at a discreet country
sanitarium fails to mend what is broken inside her, Evelyn returns home convinced that one thing
alone can save her. But what she quickly learns is that what she wants most in the world may
come at a price she never anticipated.
Told in three voices, Paper Fortunes follows three women whose lives are about to collide over
a single child—and the paper-thin line between the futures we are handed and the ones we can
still rewrite.
Perfect for readers who love historical fiction based on a true story, a class divide between three
women, mental health and the asylums of the 1930s, a disgraced heroine’s second chance,
motherhood and adoption, found family, and workplace romance.
Fans of Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours and Kristin Hannah will find a story that stays with
them long after the last page.
