Today marks a momentous occasion as we celebrate the book launch of Kat Christensen’s “A Profitable Wife,” a novel that resurrects the soul of 19th-century America with a stirring narrative. Christensen masterfully paints a canvas that stretches from the end of the War of 1812 to the tense days leading up to the Civil War, inviting readers to explore a world rife with heart, conflict, and the relentless pursuit of existence.

Easter, the novel’s formidable protagonist, is a woman of the American Northwest frontier in the 1830s. Her story is one of courage and grit, emblematic of the spirit of Manifest Destiny.

But at its heart, Easter’s odyssey is a personal one—a tale of love and loss, fidelity and treachery, set to the ominous drumbeat of murder. As Easter carves a life from the rugged tapestry of the frontier, she encounters the complex mosaic of human emotion, where each thread is interwoven with the larger narrative of a burgeoning nation.
