Description
Orphaned and left with only fragments of her father’s past, Molly arrives at Agate Hill as a refugee girl whose family has been shattered by the War in Bentonville. Over the course of half a century, her life unfolds in a passionate, picaresque sweep—marked by love and betrayal, the fierce bonds and burdens of motherhood, and a murder trial that forces her to confront what she has survived and what she must still answer for. When a mysterious benefactor emerges from her father’s history to rescue her, Molly is offered a chance at reinvention, but not without the cost of truth. With Lee Smith’s lyrical storytelling and deep empathy for flawed, resilient characters, this novel explores memory, fate, and the ways women remake their lives amid loss, reinvention, and moral reckoning.
