Looking for TITLE for Sequel to Beguiled
by Karma Kitaj | Blogging | Jul 5, 2020
Would love to get help in finding a memorable title for this sequel. Here is a short synopsis of this story, which follows the protagonist, Miriam Levine Butler from 1938-1942.
Since she was born in 1900, you (and I) can easily keep track of her age. If you know your history, you'll know that these were turbulent years — the tail end of the Great Depression, the rise of fascism in Europe, and the beginning of WWII.
Miriam is a woman in her late 30s and early 40s during this period — old enough to have lived through the Depression, young enough to still be building her life. She works for the Federal Theatre Project, falls in love, loses people she loves, and ultimately must decide what kind of woman she wants to be.
I'm looking for a title that captures this journey — the resilience, the loss, the determination. Something that speaks to who Miriam is and what she goes through.
Please leave your suggestions in the comments! I'd love to hear your ideas.
