Jacqueline "Jaq" Bergeron-New Orleanian, suffragist, freethinker-drove an ambulance on the battlefields of Europe during the Great War. She returns home and finds herself isolated in rural East Texas, keeping house for her war-hero husband as she awaits his promised divorce and plans her escape. But then she meets Molly. Molly Russell lives for her music, which sustains her as she cares for her son and husband, and suffers her mother-in-law.
When she meets Jaq, a world she never imagined opens to her-a world entirely out of reach. With the storm of war still raging in Europe and other battles to be fought at home, can two women bound by the land and family ties find the freedom to love and build a life together?
