"JJ Ferguson has returned home to Pinewood, North Carolina, to build his dream house and to pursue his high school sweetheart, Ava. But as he reenters his former world, where factories are in decline and the legacy of Jim Crow is still felt, he's startled to find that the people he once knew and loved have changed just as much as he has. Ava is now married and desperate for a baby, though she can't seem to carry one to term. Her husband, Henry, has grown distant, frustrated by the demise of the furniture industry, which has outsourced to China and stripped the area of jobs. Ava's mother, Sylvia, caters to and meddles with the lives of those around her, trying to fill the void left by her absent son. And Don, Sylvia's unworthy but charming husband, just won't stop hanging around. JJ's returnand his plans to build a huge mansion overlooking Pinewood and woo Avanot only unsettles their family, but stirs up the entire town."--Jacket flap.

Grreat Book that Needed Better Proofreading submitted by sushai on August 19, 2019, 10:12pm I read this book with a hybrid of sometimes listening to the audiobook and sometimes reading on my own. It was a little bit disjointed, but I think that really fit the story of the lives of so many characters in this book. I did enjoy the read; the people felt real to me. I have a hunch a movie version will be announced soon.

Note about proofreading--it was sometimes actually difficult to read because of the lack of punctuation. I had to reread more paragraphs than I would have liked to.
