"The Patron Saint of Liars" (1992) is Ann Patchett's debut novel, launching her remarkable career. Set in Habitat, Kentucky, 1968, St. Elizabeth's Home is a shelter for pregnant, unmarried women and teenage girls.

Twenty-year-old Rose Clinton arrived there from California. She ran away from her husband of nearly three years when she realized she was pregnant but unhappy, and was determined never to return.

The shelter's residents don't stay long—their babies are left in the care of the nuns and then leave, returning to their former lives.

Rose also plans to abandon the child, believing she can't be a good mother. But when Cecilia is born, she realizes she can't bear to part with her.
