The three Miss Margarets

"Miss Peggy, Dr. Maggie, and Miss Li'l Bit, friends and confidantes for nearly a lifetime, find it funny and bewildering that they have become icons in Charles Valley, Georgia. Little does the rest of the town know that beneath the irreproachable facades of its three doyennes lies an explosive decades-old secret that is about to be revealed.". "Thirty-odd years ago the three Miss Margarets did something extraordinary, clandestine, and very illegal. Although they are haunted by the night that changed their lives, they believe that their crime was simply a matter of righting an egregious wrong. But when a stranger's arrival in town and tragic death open the floodgate of memory, their loyalty, friendship, and honor are tested in ways they could never have imagined - particularly when they have to contend with Laurel Selene, a young woman who has spent her life nursing an alcoholic mother with a huge grudge. Now Laurel is on the verge of discovering what happened the night the three Miss Margarets swore their oath of secrecy. Once she knows, will she reveal the truth about the three woman she was raised to despise? Or will she face her own troubled history and put the dark legacy they all share behind them?"--BOOK JACKET.
