Connie Schultz’s debut novel, The Daughters of Erietown, was published in 2020 after a long career in journalism. The book follows a family in a small Ohio factory town from the 1950s through the early 2000s, tracing how the promises and disappointments of one generation shape the lives of the next.
The novel draws on Schultz’s decades of reporting on working-class communities in Ohio. It is a story about what people owe each other and what they give up to keep a family together, told with the specificity of someone who has spent years listening to people in towns like the fictional Erietown.
