The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett

Rose arrives at St. Elizabeth's, a home for pregnant women. But she is different from the other young, unwed women who are staying there. Rose is married. She ran away from home after finding herself pregnant and married to a man she never loved.

This book is beautifully written with great character development. However, I like it when the protagonist changes throughout the book, and Rose never did. The ending was painful and sad, but worth the read. In real life, sometimes people don't change and that is sad too...for them and for those around them who desperately need them to.
