From Rural Kentucky to Milan – Young Girl Comes-Of-Age in Muriel Sheubrooks’ “Beyond the Fences”

Charlotte Readers Podcast

In this episode 240, we visit with Muriel Sheubrooks, author of “Beyond the Fences,” a coming-of-age novel in which a young and ambitious woman journeys from her safe and familiar home in rural Kentucky to join the high-cultured European fashion industry.
Throughout the 1950’s, Marilyn White meets a world of wealthy, educated, and worldly people who introduce her to art, fashion, and propel her career forward. At the same time, she must balance her hometown familial values with her ambition and drive.
One reviewer had this to say about the book, “Great story of a young girl who wants more out of life than what her parent wants for her and the struggles that go along with seeking independence but wanting and sometimes needing to stay close to your roots. Beautifully written. One you start, you won’t want to put down!”
