The consequences of one woman's choice to take the road most traveled in late 19th-century America. In the aftermath of tragedy, Marigold claws to reclaim what remains of herself, while fighting the demons in power as much as those residing within. Another prison, a different circumstance, healing from loss and with lust - new faces become friends and lovers as easily as they prove to be enemies. How loudly must one scream to be heard when one doesn't have a voice? Marigold is determined to find out and surprised to discover just who is willing to listen. Can the past come to save her? Where is God when she needs Him most? And will Marigold's headstrong disposition be her salvation or her doom? Perhaps what she fears the most could be exactly what sets her free. For fans of Charlotte Brontë, Margaret Atwood and Diana Gabaldon.
