From the national bestselling author of Whistling
Past the Graveyard comes a moving coming-of-age tale set
in the tumultuous sixties that harkens to both Ordinary
Grace and The Secret Life of Bees.
Tallulah James’s parents’ volatile relationship, erratic
behavior, and hands-off approach to child rearing set
tongues to wagging in their staid Mississippi town,
complicating her already uncertain life. She takes the
responsibility of shielding her family’s reputation and
raising her younger twin siblings onto her youthful shoulders.
If not for the emotional constants of her older brother,
Griff, and her old guard Southern grandmother, she would be
lost. When betrayal and death arrive hand in hand, she takes
to the road, headed to what turns out to be the
not-so-promised land of Southern California. The dysfunction
of her childhood still echoes throughout her scattered
family, sending her brother on a disastrous path and drawing
her home again. There she uncovers the secrets and lies that
set her family on the road to destruction.
