  • An
  • unflinching
  • look
  • at
  • a
  • painful
  • chapter
  • in
  • America’s
  • pastIt’s
  • 1922,
  • and
  • Woodrow
  • Harper
  • has
  • moved
  • with
  • his
  • widowed
  • mother
  • to
  • his
  • father’s
  • hometown
  • of
  • Lawton,
  • Oklahoma.
  • Perhaps
  • here
  • he
  • will
  • find
  • the
  • closeness
  • to
  • his
  • father
  • that
  • eluded
  • him
  • when
  • his
  • father
  • was
  • alive.
  • Instead,
  • in
  • his
  • new
  • neighbor,
  • Senator
  • Crawford,
  • Woodrow
  • finds
  • something
  • that
  • offers
  • even
  • more
  • comfort—a
  • father
  • figure
  • who
  • understands
  • him
  • in
  • a
  • way
  • his
  • father
  • never
  • did.
  • But
  • there
  • are
  • ugly
  • secrets
  • beneath
  • the
  • surface
  • in
  • Lawton,
  • and
  • Woodrow’s
  • desperate
  • need
  • for
  • the
  • senator’s
  • approval
  • may
  • force
  • him
  • to
  • make
  • difficult
  • decisions
  • he
  • will
  • live
  • to regret.
