\nSummary provided by the publisher:
\nThe Butler fa
mily has had their share of trials&mdash\;as sisters Althea\, Viola\, and
Lillian can attest&mdash\;but nothing prepared them for the literal trial
that will upend their lives.
Althea\, the eldest sister and sub
stitute matriarch\, is a force to be reckoned with and her younger sisters
have alternately appreciated and chafed at her strong will. They are as s
tunned as the rest of the small community when she and her husband\, Proct
or\, are arrested\, and in a heartbeat the family goes from one of the mos
t respected in town to utter disgrace. The worst part is\, not even her si
sters are sure exactly what happened.
As Althea awaits her fate
\, Lillian and Viola must come together in the house they grew up in to ca
re for their sister&rsquo\;s teenage daughters. What unfolds is a stunning
portrait of the heart and core of an American family in a story that is a
s page-turning as it is important.
