A novel about family and healing in the American South. Charley Bordelon, an African American woman and single mother, inherits eight hundred acres of sugarcane land and moves from Los Angeles to Louisiana. As she navigates the challenges of farming and her own desires, she must balance the demands of family with the harsh realities of a declining farm.

Through Charley's journey, the author examines the healing power of human connections and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing world. With its vivid portrayal of rural life and the struggles of its characters, this novel offers a powerful exploration of family, community, and resilience.
