Après "Les Couleurs de l'espoir", Julie Kibler livre une histoire vibrante d'humanité, celle d'une amitié profonde entre deux femmes démunies, exclues, et pourtant déterminées à se relever, plus fortes, plus libres, dans l'Amérique patriarcale du début du siècle. Dans la petite ville de Berachah, au Texas, il est un refuge pour toutes celles dont la société ne veut plus, les filles mères, les épouses abandonnées, les prostituées, les droguées. Un abri où ces femmes brisées peuvent tenter de se reconstruire.
