ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Set against the backdrop of the 1974 Boston desegregation, the story follows Mary Pat Fennessy, a Southie mother, as she searches for her missing daughter, Jules. The disappearance triggers a descent into a complex world of loyalty, secrets, and violence. As Mary Pat navigates the dark underbelly of her community, she confronts drug dealing, political corruption, and deep-seated racism. The novel explores themes of family, grief, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her own, while critiquing the social and political climate of the time.
