Description: Set in early 1950s rural South Carolina, this novel chronicles Sarah Creamer's quest to find her "mama bone" after she is left to care for a boy who is not her own, but is the product of an affair between her husband and her best friend. With the farm about to be foreclosed and trying to overcome her mother's negative prophesy, Sarah must find a way for her and her young charge to survive.
