A STORY OF FAMILY, SECRETS & INHERITANCE
"All my grandbabies call me Lulu. But my given name is Patty Lou Beaumont Gentry and everyone from around my parts knows that ain't normal. We do come from a long line of rednecks, but we wasn't hicks.
The Beaumonts lived on one side of The Hill, the Gentrys on the other. Now the Gentry clan — they was hicks. Fact is, other than being poor and hungry, bout the only other thing we had in common with the Gentrys was that we hated each other.
For good reason."
When Patty Lou discovers that her granddaughter, Izzy, is having the same nightmare that haunted her own grandmother generations ago, she knows the truth she’s kept buried for decades can’t stay hidden any longer. So she tells Izzy the story she’s never told—of forbidden love, feuding families, impossible choices, devastating loss, lifelong friendship, faith, and the women who taught her that surviving and living are not the same thing.
