Romance Chick-Lit
Many children have grown up in the shadow of Louisianaβs Greenmount State Penitentiary. Most of themβsons and daughters of corrections officers and staffβleft the place as soon as they could. Yet Ginny Polk chose to come back to work as a prison cook. She knows the harsh reality of life within those wallsβthe cries of men being beaten, the lines of shuffling inmates chained together. Yet she has never seen them as monsters, not even the ones sentenced to execution. Thatβs why, among her duties, Ginny has taken on a special responsibility: preparing their last meals. Pot roast or red beans and rice, coconut cake with seven- minute frosting or pork neck stewβ¦whatever the men ask for Ginny prepares, even meeting with their heartbroken relatives to get each recipe just right. Itβs her way of honoring their humanity, showing some compassion in their final hours. The prison board frowns upon the ritual, as does Roscoe Simms, Greenmountβs Warden. Her daddyβs best friend before he was murdered, Roscoe has always watched out for Ginny, and their friendship has evolved into something deep and unexpected. But when Ginny stumbles upon information about the man executed for killing her father, it leads to a series of dark and painful revelations. Truth, justice, mercyβnone of these are as simple as Ginny once believed. And the most shocking crimes may not be the ones committed out of anger or greed, but the sacrifices we make for love.
