Since then, the eleven-year-old has been one of the unadoptable \"big\" girls at The Orphan in Oxford, Mississippi. There, in the face of the disdain and cruelty of the chairlady who runs the orphanage, she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the final, sweltering weeks of the summer, Birdie Calhoun, unmarried and opinionated, arrives in Oxford with the unpleasant task of asking her socialite sister to help the struggling family she's left behind. Her sister has married into a wealthy, old family and has taken pains to conceal her humble Delta roots. But as the Depression tightens its grip, it becomes clear that her dreams may have been built on an unsteady foundation. With her banker husband worryingly absent, she drifts around his once-grand family home as her imperious mother-in-law clings to a fantasy of bygone days.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Birdie meets Charlie, a woman with nothing left to lose, their fates--and Meg's--converge with those of a band of undaunted, disreputable women as they form an audacious plan to take back control of their lives.
