Inspired by a remarkable true story that captivated the #1 New York Times bestselling author, THE GIVER OF STARS features five extraordinary women and their unforgettable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond.

Here, in a gripping slice of little-known Americana, she provides a rare story of heroism that is so needed in today’s world.
“In THE GIVER OF STARS, Jojo Moyes has written a powerful novel of strong women set against a truly American backdrop—a little-known slice of history that has given her a canvas richer than any she has created before, and in turn, she has written the book of her life—one destined to become a classic,” says Pamela Dorman, Publisher, Pamela Dorman Books
Jojo Moyes: “I can honestly say I have never loved writing a book more, or been more inspired by my subject matter. I really hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I have.”
