Summary | In 1924 South Carolina, Gertrude, a mother of four, must choose between saving her daughters from starvation or dying at the hands of an abusive husband. Retta is a first-generation freed slave who is still employed by the Coles, who once owned her family. Annie is the matriarch of the Coles family, is coming to terms with a terrible truth that ripped her family apart. These three women unite to stand up to the terrible injustices that have long plagued their small town, and they find strength in the bond that ties women together. |
