When Liz Hoole, a free-spirited liberal from the Midwest, marries into a conservative Quaker family, she knows that raising children in compliance with Quaker values will be challenging. Twenty-five years later, she still feels like she's falling short of expectations. Fortunately, her faith and her friends in the small, rural North Carolina town of Cedar Branch keep her strong.

After her best friend's politically powerful father dies, Liz stumbles upon secrets from the past that threaten to unravel the current harmony in Cedar Branch, a town with a history of racial tension. As she researches more and eavesdrops on gossip at the Quaker Café, where everyone meets each morning, Liz soon discovers the truth about an injustice that she cannot reveal to anyone - not even her husband.

Surrounded by a cast of richly drawn Southern characters, Liz learns that even good people can make bad choices. Now, she must decide whether she has the strength to bring a past wrong to light, despite the consequences.

This is a new release of a previously published edition.

An interesting, multi-layered and relevant story, it wasn't predictable and kept my attention. There were lots of characters, which was a little confusing. I don't enjoy hearing narrators try to communicate in the voices of characters of other genders, ages and accents; when that wasn't happening, I liked this narrator's voice and style.

A good "read".

I very much enjoyed this. I did not read reviews or anything that told me what it was about. I only knew it was a small town story. I was surprised by how much depth there was to it. So many stories entertained. Very enjoyable

Surprised

Please have your narrators learn the correct pronunciation of regional words. Southerners don't pronounce pecans "pee cans". It's p'cahn. Drove me nuts. No pun intended. Otherwise enjoyed the book

Enjoyable read

As someone who listens to audio books at least 2 hours a day I know that the narrator makes or breaks the book. I have long been a devoted fan of John Lee and now I have found my favorite female voice!

Stellar narrator

Fried Green Tomatoes meets Steel Magnolias. I found myself laughing out loud and at others crying because I fell in love with the characters. An easy read and I highly recommend it.
