Description
In 1946, North Carolina's tobacco capital is thriving. But beneath its prosperous surface, a trail of misfortune follows many of the women who live and work there. Maddie Sykes arrives in Bright Leaf, eager to start her new life as a seamstress. She soon discovers that the town's success comes with a price, one that affects the lives of its female residents in profound ways. As Maddie forms strong bonds with these women, she uncovers evidence that suggests their struggles may not be coincidental. This novel sheds light on the hidden history of women's activism during the post-war period, exploring the power of female connection and the importance of seeking truth.
