Large Print
In the summer of 1964, twenty-one-year-old Violet Richards finds herself in more trouble than she's ever been in in her life. After suffering a brutal attack, she kills the man responsible. But with the color of Violet's skin, there is no way she can escape Jim Crow justice in Jackson, Mississippi. She decides to run, but desperation and fear lead her to hide out in the small rural town of Chillicothe, Georgia, unaware that danger may be closer than she thinks. Marigold, Violet's older sister, has dreams of attending law school and uses her smarts to further the cause of the black vote. But Marigold is in a different kind of trouble: she's pregnant and unmarried. After news of her sister's involvement in a murder brings the police to her door, Marigold sees no choice but to flee Jackson too. Two sisters on the run, but what they don't realize is that there's a man hot on their trails -- a man with a disturbing motive for finding the sisters that is unknown to everyone but him...
