Description

A poignant and powerful tale of forbidden love in 1930s America. In Shalerville, Kentucky, social norms dictate that black maids and handymen are trusted to care for white families, but their roles are strictly limited after dark. Sixteen-year-old Isabelle McAllister's life is turned upside down when she falls for Robert, the ambitious son of her family's housekeeper. Their love becomes a secret, one that could have devastating consequences. Years later, as an elderly woman, Isabelle embarks on a journey to reveal the truth about her past and the enduring impact it has had on her life. Julie Kibler's writing is both wise and evocative, making this a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking read.
