Product Description
In South Carolina, a woman discovers her aunt's profound secrets in an emotional novel spanning decades about trauma, survival, and the bonds of female friendship by a USA Today bestselling author.
Since Bailey Rae Rigby's adoptive aunt Winnie passed, Bent Oak, South Carolina, doesn't have much of a hold on her anymore. So it seems.
Bailey Rae aims to settle the small estate and, armed with her aunt's inspiring personal cookbook, buy a food truck with an ocean view in Myrtle Beach. Everything goes awry when a distraught young mother arrives in town clutching a copy of that same cookbook. Embedded inside is a code that promises a safe place in Bent Oak for desperate women on the run. For Bailey Rae it opens up a world of questions. Who really was the beloved aunt she's known most of her life?
Winnie Ballard's story reaches back fifty years--one of a Southern debutante's harrowing marriage, of her escape and reinvention, and the galvanizing friendship of three resilient women who overcame their traumas, created a shelter, and found purpose. But there's more to Winnie's deliverance and long-held secrets than Bailey Rae imagines.
With each revelation, Bailey Rae draws on her aunt's courage to find purpose herself. For now, whatever threats may come, Bailey Rae isn't going anywhere.
