In the sweltering summer of 1963, segregation rages in the small town of Murpheysfield. Twelve-year-old Mary Jacob, unloved by her family, finds refuge with Lavina, the Black cook whom she considers her mother. But during racial incidents, the domestic worker is killed. Shocked, Mary Jacob forgets everything about this period of her life. Decades later, learning that her father is dying, Mary Jacob returns to her native Louisiana. Tracing her past, will the young woman recover the memory of her broken childhood? Will she be able to make peace with her own history and with Billy Ray, Lavina's son, wounded by silence and unspoken words?
