Please suggest a fiction or memoir book about women making the best of difficult circumstances
Not looking for a story of perpetual victim mentality and desperate sadness but rather books in which the heroine is dealt a crappy hand but she makes the best of it with grace, humor, and zest for life
It might not be exactly what you’re looking for but The Tenant of Wildfell Hall springs to mind.

Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Or many other books by Kristen Hannah.
I also haven’t actually read it yet so can’t be sure, but “Know my Name” has been on my list as female power memoir for awhile. It’s by the woman who was raped and left behind by a dumpster by that Stanford university kid who got like no jail time (I’ve successfully forgotten his name) and is supposed to be good.
Also American Dirt (Jeanine Cummings) or maybe Two Old Women (Velma Wallis – very short but cute).
