Set in a small Louisianan bayou town, Loyal May returns to her hometown to care for her mother— and she hopes to reconnect with her best friend, the wild orphan Cutter Labasques. But it‘s clear that a reconciliation won‘t be possible & Loyal instead puts her investigative skills to use trying to uncover the dark truths the town hides. Bailey‘s writing brings the lush landscape beautifully to life— as well as even minor characters. Well-written!
