It is 1913, and Rose Hockley finds herself eighteen years old, heavily pregnant, and lonelier than she has ever been. With her husband Cal away in New York and her mother forever pressing her toward appearances, Rose spends her days confined to her chambers, wrestling with fear, exhaustion, and the strange bond she feels growing between herself and her unborn child.
When her maid, Trudy, reveals a heartbreaking secret about her own past, the two women form an unexpected sisterhood-bound not by class but by shared pain, trust, and hope. Together, they prepare for the child's arrival, forging a quiet alliance that will change both of their lives forever.
This is a story of whispered confessions, fragile strength, and the kind of friendship that can blossom even in the most unlikely of places.
