After years of war rations and shortages, Bright Leaf is a prosperous wonderland in full technicolor bloom, and Maddie is dazzled by the bustle of the crisply uniformed female factory workers, the palatial homes, and, most of all, her aunt's glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives. When a series of unexpected events thrusts Maddie into the role of lead dressmaker for the town's most influential women, she scrambles to produce their ornate gowns for the biggest party of the season. But she soon learns that Bright Leaf isn't quite the carefree paradise that it seems: A trail of misfortune follows many of the women, including substantial health problems. Although Maddie is quick to believe that this is a coincidence, she inadvertently uncovers evidence that suggests otherwise. Maddie wants to report what she knows, but in a town where everyone depends on Big Tobacco to survive, she doesn't know who she can trust, and fears that exposing the truth may destroy the lives of the proud, strong women with whom she has forged strong bonds. 650 0 $a Women dressmakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tobacco industry $z North Carolina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Executives' spouses $v Fiction. 651 0 $a North Carolina $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women dressmakers. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 700 1 $a McManus, Shannon, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Metzger, Janet, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010832.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D2CC7F4D34B11EC89B31A4336ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
