Over one relentlessly hot summer, two women’s lives are about to collide in the most unexpected ways. Mimi is a single mum in her twenties, looking to break free from her family’s judgements and her church’s oppressive, hypocritical gossip to establish who she is on her own. But a dangerous new romance could lead her into trouble… Meanwhile, fifteen-year-old Abi dreams of emulating the life she sees through social media and helping her mother with the bills. When she’s offered the chance to make money fast by helping a group of local boys, she and her friends jump at it. But soon they’re crossing county lines, and Abi finds she’s in over her head. Could Mimi and Abi forge a bond that could free them both, at the heart of a community they’ve taken for granted?
