New to North Carolina, protagonist Maddie Sykes is dazzled by the wives of the powerful tobacco executives. A trail of misfortune follows many of the women, including substantial health problems. Though Maddie is quick to believe that this is a coincidence, she inadvertently uncovers evidence that suggests otherwise. Author Adele Meyers loosely based this dramatic novel on her childhood in Winston-Salem.
