Synopsis
In a town where change is slow to take shape, and in a time when husbands tell their wives how to vote, artist Lynn Westfall decides to make a difference. The other women of Quillans Crossing think empowerment is a good idea, and are eager to talk
and talk
and talk about it. None of them want to do more. Except for the vibrant Alix Dunnevan, a woman whose marriage to a local powerhouse politician is held up as the perfect ideal.
Before she knows it, their shared love of music and growing camaraderie means more than it should, and Lynn finds herself a painful cliché: the lesbian who has fallen for the straight woman. Even if by some miracle Alix returned her feelings, Lynn is certain Alixs husband is capable of keeping her and their daughters chained to him.
Lynn searches for the strength to walk away. Even when the mask that Alix wears starts to slip and conflict inside her marriage suggest cracks have existed for years, it doesnt mean there is hope...
