Mary Monroe is an exceptional writer and phenomenal storyteller!”
—Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times Bestselling Author
“In the small town of Branson, Alabama, the houses are well-tended and the porches tidy. But nothing is as perfect as it seems, including the marriage of Joyce and Odell Watson.
