A young woman on the run. A life built in the shadows. A story that refuses to be forgotten.
Amarillo, Texas, 2000. Margaret Kenyon, the oldest practicing nurse in the Panhandle, has lived long enough to know the difference between rumor and truth. When a young reporter comes to interview her, Margaret has one condition: Before he writes a single word about her, he must hear the story of Frankie—a woman whose life of crime, survival, and quiet acts of courage changed everything.
East Texas, 1925. At fifteen, Frankie has only ever known poverty, abuse, and silence. Then, on a sweltering Fourth of July, she seizes her one chance to escape her hometown of Uncertain—fleeing with Theophile “Dix” Bergeron, a charismatic gambler who opens the door to a dangerous new world of speakeasies, bootlegging, and backroom deals. But in a country where desperation blurs the line between sin and survival, Frankie will have to become more than a runaway. She will have to become fearless.
