Cate Sutton, a reclusive university librarian, uncovers the hidden histories of two troubled women who connect at a turn of 20th century Texas home for "fallen girls." Pulled by an indescribable connection, what Cate discovers about their stories leads her to confront her own heartbreaking past, and to reclaim the life she thought she'd let go forever. Inspired by historical events, this novel tells an emotionally raw and resonant story of love, loss, and the enduring power of friendship.
