Publisher's Synopsis
Single-handedly battling poverty, Grandma Clara forced her children into cotton fields-no welfare checks to save them from bloodied fingers and broken backs. Her youngest, Pot, refused to accept their fate, crafting a dangerous hustle behind the overseer's back. The family's survival balanced on her not getting caught, but the real threat lurked closer to home. Beneath Grandma Clara's strong exterior festered dark secrets that would shatter their world-truths so explosive they'd make Pot's underground schemes look like child's play.
The town's underbelly festered with disappearances and brutal violations-all roads leading back to Willie's clan. Justice? A luxury for the privileged. For everyone else: silence or a shallow grave. Gregory, their loyal friend, had his world obliterated when his woman vanished into thin air, her absence met with calculated indifference. Then Pot stepped into the fire-that fearless girl who'd either drag her family into her dangerous crusade or burn alone. No middle ground, no retreat. While others cowered, she advanced, her audacity the only weapon against a system designed to crush souls like hers.
