Summary
In 1984, Detective Delvina Rue is the only Black woman on the New Orleans detective squad when the corpse of Aubrey Fiorello, one-time mayoral candidate and philanthropist turned decades-unsolved missing persons case, is finally discovered. To her shock, none other than Doris Barnes, Fiorello’s old housekeeper and a locally celebrated Black World War II heroine, comes forward to claim responsibility.
In the 1940s, fiercely independent Doris joins the Women’s Army Corps to escape from her overbearing mother. After a chance encounter, Doris falls in love with fellow soldier and New Orleans favorite son Aubrey Fiorello while they are deployed abroad. But Aubrey harbors a secret that threatens everything his family has built. Unwilling to brave the truth, Doris and Aubrey part ways.
Years later, they reunite in the aftermath of the war. Navigating the segregation of Jim Crow–era New Orleans, Doris and Aubrey struggle to maintain a love that could get them both killed. As Aubrey’s political star rises, Doris must ask herself: How can one Black woman square her personal duty to herself and her dreams with her obligation to her community? And what are the sacrifices she is willing to make for love?
