At seven years old, Sallee Mackey is wary of the grownups
that populate her 1950s Southern world—especially her
mother, Ginny—and with good reason. Ginny is flat-out dangerous, particularly if she is crossed
while in one of her moods. While Sallee learns early on to
rely on furtiveness and a watchful eye in an attempt to live
in harmony with her family, the family’s long-time black
maid becomes her one saving grace. But even Ethel has
secrets. Ethel and Ginny’s relationship goes back to
girlhood. While Ginny has conveniently forgotten that fact,
Sallee hasn’t. As she questions Ethel about the mysteries of
their shared history, their bigoted next-door neighbor knows
that he too, shares that same past. As marital and neighborhood tensions rise, Sallee discovers
growing schisms inside her home that lead to conflicted
loyalties that threaten to destroy not only Ethel, but also
the children she loves. Apron Strings shares the compelling story of a well-to-do
white girl and her family’s black maid as they unite to
overcome the hatred and segregation embedded in their 1950s
southern culture, and prove that love sees no color.
