In these stories, characters defy the limits of physics to escape the all too human pain of love and loss.

Set in a conservative 1930s Southern town, the story follows an impoverished young midwife who, after her husband's abandonment, transforms a deserted antebellum plantation into a hospice and sanctuary for the marginalized. Alongside her twin daughters, she navigates the complexities of race, sexuality, and societal norms, providing refuge for the town's outcasts in a richly layered exploration of resilience and community.
