People in the Mississippi Delta take their wedding traditions very seriously. But are they serious enough to be a motive for murder?

For decades, gossip about Presh’s murder has centered on her nephew. Larrison returns to Greenville for his side of the story. And she finds new questions: Could a sibling rivalry nearly a hundred years old have anything to do with the killing?
