<p>Fresh out of prison after twelve years, Opal McBride must find a job in order to meet parole requirements. Failure means she&#39;ll serve out the remainder of her sentence behind bars. The system has seen fit to drop her in Louisville, Kentucky, a far cry from her hometown of Jubilee in the Appalachian hollows. Scrambling to adapt, Opal finds more than a potential job in May Boone&#39;s quilt shop; she finds acceptance and perhaps even friendship.</p><p>That is, until May&#39;s son recognizes her. A detective, Josh Boone is not about to let a felon work for his soft-hearted mother. Though Opal&#39;s crime was against a sheriff&#39;s deputy, his innate sense of decency prods him to break ranks and defend her from the disdain of his fellow officers. Then he finds she may have light to shed on a cold case-and discovers there is more to Opal&#39;s story than it seems. Josh risks his professional reputation (and his heart) as he digs into Opal&#39;s past.</p><p>When secrets are exposed, will justice prevail? Will Opal and Josh find redemption-and maybe even love-where they least expect it?</p>
