The speakerphone felt impossibly heavy in her grasp, and it took all of Coralee’s strength to hold it to her mouth. Is friendship too high a price to pay to be Plumville? Is love? Will Benjamin and Coralee become who Plumville raised them to be, or who they were born to be? The reunion forces the pair and those around them to examine the consequences of following the status quo versus following their hearts. However, fifteen years later during the turbulent 1960s, Benjamin and Coralee are reunited, and despite their upbringing, neither are able to deny what they had in their innocent youth, nor suppress the desire to rekindle it-maybe even into something more.


Such is the case for Benjamin Drummond and Coralee Simmons, two best friends separated during childhood because Benjamin is white, Coralee is black, and relationships between the two races are unspoken in its taboo. You're given them from birth, and anything that could possibly make you break them is removed from your life-even if it's your best friend.

Living in the small, southern town of Plumville is effortless, seamless, and safe.
