Alma DeGeer Dunahew navigates the challenges of life as a working mother in a small town, balancing her duties as a maid for a wealthy resident with her roles as a caregiver and protector. Set against the backdrop of a tightly-knit community, her story unfolds through the shadows of personal tragedy and societal expectations.
As Alma's past begins to unravel, secrets emerge that intertwine her life with the town’s dark history, exposing the fragility of her status. Woodrell crafts a poignant narrative that delves into the complexities of loyalty, love, and the quest for justice, while illuminating the often-overlooked struggles of those serving behind the scenes.
