DESCRIPTION:
But she doesn’t dare reveal her true identity to the authorities. Her perilous flight begins. Kendall Deaton pulls herself and her baby out of a wrecked car, and a mixture of courage and fear gets her to the top of a ravine, where she flags down help. Instead, she plans her immediate escape. The best public defender in Prosper, South Carolina, Kendall had stumbled upon the town’s chilling secret – and her marriage to one of the town’s most powerful men has become a living hell. Now Kendall is a terrified mother trying to save her child’s life…a reluctant witness who knows too much about an insidious evil…and a woman surrounded by forces that will stop at nothing to protect what is “theirs.” “This page-turner is a must on any summer beach reading list and a testament to Brown’s gifts as a talented storyteller.” – USA Today

I think it may have been written in the 1990s, but what I was reading sounded more like the 1970s. The sexism and the racism are completely blown out of proportion. I will concede that a few people, even well-respected people in a southern town in the 1990s may have been discreetly bigoted. But in this town everyone is openly and unabashedly racist and sexist to the point where they all conspire together to make sure women stay in the home and blacks only work menial jobs.
