In 1972, change is sweeping the world, but it isn't coming fast enough to South Carolina. Not for Triss, anyway. She has always wanted to become an attorney, but her influential grandfather who raised her won't hear of it. She attempts to go it on her own-until she commits an impetuous act that threatens to derail her life. Everlove, the daughter of a working-class family, is not looking for change, but it finds her anyway. She has always followed the rules-until one day she doesn't and blows up the life she has always known. The women meet, become friends, and help each other find new paths forward. Can the two women build new lives from the ones they shattered?

Stockwell revisits the South Carolina neighborhood she explored in her debut, this time focusing on two different women - Triss who's trying to find a way out of her working class background to become an attorney and Everymore, a uncertain bride-to-be, who isn't sure her life is headed in the right direction. The two, plus other members of their mobile-home community, bond together to take down an unscrupulous landlord and in the process, discover truths about their lives and the unwavering bonds of friendship that link them. If your a fan of southern tales and uplifting narratives, this book deserves a place in your library.
