An unflinching look at a painful chapter in Americaâs past
Itâs 1922, and Woodrow Harper has moved with his widowed mother to his fatherâs hometown of Lawton, Oklahoma. Perhaps here he will find the closeness to his father that eluded him when his father was alive. Instead, in his new neighbor, Senator Crawford, Woodrow finds something that offers even more comfortâa father figure who understands him in a way his father never did. But there are ugly secrets beneath the surface in Lawton, and Woodrowâs desperate need for the senatorâs approval may force him to make difficult decisions he will live to regret.
