Racial discrimination has been around for a long time and is very much evident abroad. Those who are fair-skinned have brushed the darker-skinned on many a negative side. This novel depicts how whites discrimination on blacks caused the lives of the characters to veer of course in ways they never imagined.
For as long as anyone can remember, the three Miss Margarets - Li'l Bit, Dr. Maggie and Peggy - have held a tiny Southern town in their velvet grip. Friends for almost a lifetime, the once unlikely trio are bemused to have become icons in their hometown. For almost 30 years ago these pillars of the community did something that changed their lives forever - something extraordinary, clandestine and very, very illegal.
The arrival of a stranger in town opens a floodgate of memories for all 3 women - and threatens to expose the dark secret they swore an oath that night to protect forever. As the 3 friends fight to bury a memory that haunts them all still, their loyalty and sense of honour are tested in ways they could never have imagined.
And along the way a young woman whose life has become inextricably entwined with theirs finds the strength to reclaim her past.
Featuring 3 of the most gutsy, unique and unforgettable women from the Old South you are ever likely to meet, this book is an irresistible tale of friendship, love and finding out who really counts.
This book works well on a good mug of hot chocolate on a rainy day and a cosy reading nook. Warm and enlightening, this book has a slow storytelling that will envelope the reader's spirit. All we can do now is read and stay home to flatten the curve.
