Acerca de esta escucha
In 1951, Lillie Mae Parker works for a department store in Atlanta, Georgia. She's an aspiring, young seamstress who is enchanted by a charming new suitor. His worldly ways and grandeur captivate her - until secrets, lies, and unsavory behaviors bring her harm.
Uncovering more than she ever imagined, Lillie is pushed to make decisions that she never expected. With the help of a close family friend and her brother Frank, Lillie tries to leave behind her mistakes. The discovery of a 1951 convertible dragged out of its watery grave leads reporters to the doorstep of Lillie Mae.
The Cotton Blossom is a spellbinding journey about finding your power, learning from your mistakes, and trusting your heart.
