Publisher Notes

In a beautifully narrated novel of time and place, author Julia Oliver recreates a Southern summer when the Depression and the boll weevil turned hopes to dust. When twenty-year-old Callie Tatum saw the man from Birmingham coming up the road to the farmhouse, she knew she shouldn't talk to him. Her husband, Russell, was at the mill job he had taken when the cotton failed. Only her invalid father-in-law and her baby daughter were home, and Callie had no business socializing with a stranger...or beginning an affair.

Media Reviews

"This is storytelling. This is art."

First Line

Summer came in quietly that year, slipped in almost unnoticed on the tail of a kind and graceful springtime.
