Bent Oak, South Carolina, has lost much of its hold on Winnie, Bailey Rae Rigby’s adoptive aunt. So it appears.

When a young mother arrives in town clutching a copy of the same cookbook, everything goes wrong. Inside is a code that says that desperate women on the run will find a safe place in Bent Oak. For Bailey Rae it opens up a world of questions. Who was the adored aunt she has known for the majority of her life? The harrowing marriage of a Southern debutante, Winnie Ballard’s escape and reinvention, and the energizing friendship of three resilient women who overcame their traumas, established a shelter, and found meaning are all parts of the fifty-year story of Winnie Ballard. But Winnie’s escape and long-held secrets have more to them than Bailey Rae thinks. Bailey Rae uses her aunt’s bravery to find her own meaning with each revelation. Bailey Rae is staying where she is for the time being, regardless of any threats.
