Description
Set in the Jim Crow South of 1924, this powerful historical novel follows three women whose lives converge amid poverty, racial violence, and rigid social expectations. Gertrude, a determined white woman; Retta, her fiercely loyal Black housekeeper; and Annis, a young mother seeking refuge, form an unlikely bond that challenges the boundaries of their community. As long-buried secrets and mounting dangers test their courage, each woman must confront the costs of silence and the strength found in solidarity. Richly atmospheric and deeply compassionate, the novel explores friendship, motherhood, justice, and the enduring power of women who refuse to be defined by the world around them.
