Overview
Forty-six-year-old Madeline Fairbanks has no use for ideas like āseparation of the racesā or āmen as the superior sex.ā There are many in her dying Southern Appalachian town who are upset by her socially progressive views, but for yearsāpartly due to her late husbandās still-powerful influence, and partly due to her skill as a healer in a remote town with no doctor of its ownāfolks have been willing to turn a blind eye to her ātransgressions.ā Even Maddieās decision to take on a Black apprentice, Ren Morgan, goes largely unchallenged by her white neighbors, though itās certainly grumbled about.Ā
But when a charismatic and power-hungry new reverend blows into town in 1917 and begins to preach about the importance of racial segregation, the long-idle local KKK chapter fires back into actionāand places Maddie and her friends in Jamesvilleās Black community squarely in their sights. Maddie had better stop intermingling with Black folks, discontinue her herbalistic āwitchcraft,ā and leave town immediately, they threaten, or theyāll lynch Renās father, Daniel.Ā
Faced with this decision, Maddie is terrified . . . and torn. Will she bow to their demands and walk awayāor will she fight to keep the home sheās built in Jamesville and protect the future of the people she loves, both Black and white?
