In this debut historical Southern novel, Lydia McCallister’s aunt Rose dies a mysterious death. As a result, twenty-seven year old Lydia disappears into the fabric of Waycross Georgia, shunned just as her aunt Rose had been all those years ago. Her aunt went to her death harboring a secret that destroyed her life, and vicariously, Lydia’s life as well. Lydia is determined to uncover that secret. But just as she tries to re-engage with the society that rejected her, a yellow fever train rolls through town and tears at the very fabric of society. Lydia is determined to help the sick and hungry travelers, but the men from the Vigilance Committee refuse to let the train stop in Waycross. Will Lydia make the same mistakes as her aunt Rose, or will she learn to navigate a world unraveled by discrimination to forge a life of meaning and substance?
