Description
A sweeping novel spanning sixty years in a small Tennessee town, where one woman buries a secret beneath her rose garden and carries the weight of silence through a lifetime of survival.
Margaret Hale has kept two sets of books her entire life: the public version and the truth. Now, in the winter of her eighty-first year, the roses she planted in 1968 still bloom along the back fence, tangling into the chain-link like fingers gripping a cage. And the earth beneath them still holds what it has always held.
- A multi-generational Southern family saga
- Themes of domestic violence, secrets, resilience, and liberation
- Book 1 in the What We Carry series
Some silences are chosen. Others are survival.
