Kelly O’Connor McNees is a former editorial assistant and English teacher.
"The three central, compelling women of In Need of a Good Wife are
each, in turn, terribly lost and deeply brave. I adored them and
rooted for them…I found it deliciously satisfying that the
redemption I wished for each of them arrived in completely
unexpected ways, taking both me and the characters by
surprise."--Katrina Kittle, author of The Blessings of the
Animals
"With graceful prose and historical settings that shine with
vitality, In Need of a Good Wife is unforgettable."--Kristina
Riggle, author of Real Life and Liars
“Painting vivid images of the poverty of post-Civil War Manhattan
City and the harrows of Destination, Nebraska, McNees weaves a
hopeful, compelling story of love and resilience so engaging it is
impossible to put down."--Robin Oliveira, author of My Name is Mary
Sutter
“In Need of a Good Wife is a beautifully wrought story, every
page bursting with poetry and adventure. McNees sweeps us
west with such hope and excitement that we ache and rejoice,
celebrate and cry.”--Susan Gregg Gilmore, author of Looking for
Salvation at the Dairy Queen
