Storm in a Glass

After the death of her beloved aunt, Bailey Rae wants to leave. With nothing left to keep her in Bent Oak, South Carolina, and with her aunt's inspiring cookbook and a plan for a new life, she wants a fresh start. But everything changes the moment a desperate young mother arrives in town—holding the very same cookbook.
It turns out the book contains a secret code that helps women on the run find a safe haven in Bent Oak. Bailey Rae thus begins to uncover the truth about the woman she has loved her whole life—and whom she never really knew at all.
Winnie Ballard's story takes place fifty years earlier and tells of a terrifying marriage, an escape, and the power of female friendship. Of the courage to start over and build a home in spite of the past. But some secrets don't stay buried. The past is coming back—and Bailey Rae will have to find her own strength to face it.
