The narrative begins after a horrific crime on Valentine’s Day, when 14-year-old Gloria Ramírez is discovered barely alive on the porch of Mary Rose Whitehead’s ranch house.
The crime is judged in the churches and bars of Odessa before it ever reaches a courtroom. The novel delves into the crossroads of violence, race, class, and region. It is narrated from the alternating perspectives of characters who deeply resonate with the reader. The book highlights the power and vulnerability of women, and underscores the idea that the stories we tell ourselves are what keep us going.
