Summary
"Kinship, Ohio, 1924: When Lily Ross learns that her husband, Daniel, the town's widely respected sheriff, has been killed in an apparent accident while transporting a prisoner, she vows to seek the truth about his death. Hours after his funeral, a stranger appears at her door. Marvena Whitcomb, a coal miner's widow, is unaware that Daniel has died and begs to speak with him about her missing daughter. From miles away but worlds apart, Lily's and Marvena's lives collide as they realize that Daniel was perhaps not the man either of them believed him to be. Inspired by the true story of Ohio's first female sheriff, Jess Montgomery's powerful, lyrical debut is the story of two women who take on murder and corruption at the heart of their community."--, Provided by publisher
