Description
Once a pioneering doctor, Dr. Tucia Hatherley hasn’t touched a scalpel or stethoscope since a tragic mistake in the operating room. Now, she works in a corset factory, struggling to earn enough to care for her disabled son. When even that job is threatened, Tucia has no choice but to join Huey, a charismatic showman, in his traveling medicine show. Her medical credentials lend the show an air of legitimacy, but the so-called cures she is forced to sell are little more than empty promises. Though she despises the deception, Tucia forms uneasy bonds with the other performers, vowing to leave once her debts are settled and start a new life with her son—if Huey will ever let her go.
When the show arrives in Galveston, Tucia tries to break free, but instead, she is pulled deeper into Huey’s schemes. As a September storm threatens, it rapidly transforms into a devastating hurricane that will devastate the Gulf Coast. In the face of this disaster, Tucia must find the strength to believe in herself, in the healing power of medicine, and in the goodness of others.
