Three generations of women in one family share a household in Georgia, including a teenager named Mosey. The household's quiet is broken when the bones of a baby are found buried in the yard.

Joshilyn Jackson tells the story in a Southern voice, mixing comedy, family loyalty, and mystery.

Readers who enjoy Southern fiction with strong female characters and well-timed humour will find an absorbing story. It suits those who like family secrets uncovered gradually.
