Colorado, 1918. World War I is raging overseas, but it's the home front battling for survival with the Spanish Flu running rampant. After a tenant dies, sisters Helen and Lutie are thrust into caring for the woman's small daughter, Dorothy. One day, Lutie comes home from work and discovers a dead man on their kitchen floor and Helen standing above the body, an icepick in hand. Set against the backdrop of an epidemic that feels all too familiar, Little Souls is a compelling tale of sisterhood and of the sacrifices people make to protect those they love most.
