1954: in the quaint town of Mendol, Oklahoma, Bailey Dowery is a Black dressmaker for the wives and daughters of local oil barons. She also has a deeper talent: the gift of insight. With just a fleeting touch, Bailey glimpses the other person's past and future. What Bailey's intuition uncovers when she touches Elsa Grimes's hand horrifies her. And when the son of a prominent family turns up dead on the eve of Elsa's wedding, and the bride-to-be is arrested for his murder, Bailey is suddenly at the centre of a firestorm that threatens to overtake her and everyone she loves.
