In the summer of 1932, as Americans grapple with the aftermath of the 1929 financial crash, May returns to her family home in rural Keswick, Virginia, striving to keep the farm and market afloat amid economic turmoil. Balancing her marriage with a tempting opportunity to revitalize the family business, she faces significant challenges. Meanwhile, in a cold-water Boston tenement, the Sykes family struggles to survive on an itinerant mechanic's wages. Sixteen-year-old Dorrit Sykes, recently bereaved of her mother, wrestles with her faith and anxiety. Seeking answers, she turns to Nancy Drew mysteries and finds solace at the Boston Public Library, where she writes fairy stories. When Dorrit joins her father in Washington, DC, to march with veterans petitioning President Hoover for early war bonuses, she embarks on a transformative journey that reshapes her understanding of faith and self-sufficiency. As Dorrit and May’s paths cross, their intertwined fates reveal unexpected connections, all set against a backdrop of true historical events, highlighting the resilience of two women during the Great Depression.
