A Month of Sundays: Golden Hour

By L.T. Hubbard

Time waits for no one-but for Pearl, it might just be the only way to save her family.
In the sweltering South of the 1930s, young Pearl is a girl made of dreams, hope, and an unfortunate habit of being late. To Pearl, Time is a phantom she can't touch or taste, so why should she bother keeping track of it? But her world is far from simple. Her father has vanished under a cloud of mystery following a tragic "accident" at the sawmill that left his best friend dead and the community whispering of guilt and cowardice.
While Pearl's mother struggles to keep their heads above water and her sister, Sissy, hides her own sharp-edged secrets, Pearl uncovers a truth that Time itself couldn't bury. Tucked away in her father's cedar trunk is a heavy brass plumb bob and a solid gold pocket watch belonging to her late godfather-objects that don't belong in a poor mill-worker's home.
Guided by the formidable Mother Essie, a church usher who sees more than most men dare to, Pearl and her best friend Penny embark on a dangerous race to clear her father's name. From the jagged ruins of the sawmill crane to the high-stakes shadows of the Pendleton Bank, Pearl must find the courage to confront the powerful Bledsoe family and a corrupt insurance ring before her family is tossed onto the street.
In a decade defined by struggle, Pearl is about to learn that catching up with Time isn't just about making it to the choir on Sunday-it's about finding the "Golden Hour" where justice and truth finally meet.
