Description
When Charley Bordelon unexpectedly inherits an expansive sugarcane farm in rural Louisiana, she leaves Los Angeles with her eleven-year-old daughter, Micah, determined to build a new life. But the realities of farming, long-standing racial tensions, family conflict, and an unfamiliar community quickly challenge Charley’s plans and test her resolve. Against the vivid backdrop of the contemporary South, this debut novel explores motherhood, inheritance, identity, resilience, and the complicated bonds between generations. It is a moving story of reinvention and hope, told with warmth, emotional insight, and an unflinching sense of place.
