"Oxford, Mississippi, 1933. Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one. Ever since her mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she's been one of the 'unadoptable' girls at the town's orphanage. When she meets Birdie, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg's future. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose. Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women. But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences."-- Page [4] of cover.
