For the audience of Fiona Davis and Lisa Wingate, a vibrant historical debut set in 1946 North Carolina following a young female seamstress who uncovers dangerous truths about the Big Tobacco empire ruling the American South.<\/i><\/p>\n

Maddie Sykes is a burgeoning seamstress who\u2019s just arrived in Bright Leaf, North Carolina\u2014the tobacco capital of the South\u2014where her aunt has a thriving sewing business. 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\u2019s glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives.<\/p>\n

When a series of unexpected events thrusts Maddie into the role of lead dressmaker for the town\u2019s 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Maddie wants to report what she knows, but in a town where everyone depends on Big Tobacco to survive, she doesn\u2019t know who she can trust\u2014and fears that exposing the truth may destroy the lives of the proud, strong women with whom she has forged strong bonds.
\nShedding light on the hidden history of women\u2019s activism during the post-war period, at its heart, The Tobacco Wives is a deeply human, emotionally satisfying, and dramatic novel about the power of female connection and the importance of seeking truth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
