As the final months of the Great War approach, Jay McKenna's world is irrevocably changed when she witnesses a tragic accident, the death of another girl who would have been her classmate at the esteemed Haviland Seminary For Girls. As Jay prepares to leave and step into Haviland's hallowed halls, she's burdened with the tragedy that unfolded above her family's farm.
Already seen as an outsider for her immigrant roots, Jay finds herself in a school still reeling from the loss and whispers of the tragedy echoing from every corner. She's no stranger to struggles-with three brothers on the front lines of the war and a tyrannical father at home-but her trials at Haviland will test her resolve.
Hope glimmers in the form of Florence-a fiercely spirited girl shunned for her skin color. Florence becomes Jay's beacon, teaching her strength and resilience. Together, they navigate the labyrinths of school politics and prejudice. As they dig deeper into the tragic death, secrets emerge that could rip apart the fabric of their newfound sisterhood. Where the lines between friend and foe blur, Jay must find her voice amidst the chaos and the courage to stand up to injustice, bigotry, and her own family's bitter turmoil.
