A Southern story of grace, secrets, and the light that overcomes darkness. In Grimly, Mississippi, sweetness covers secrets like sugar on a pie. Beneath the Southern charm, hidden darkness quietly shapes the lives of everyone who lives there. Seventeen-year-old Rosalie Picotee longs to escape the place where being different feels like a sin. But when she falls for William Dearie, betrayal and heartbreak threaten everything she hoped for. As Rosalie uncovers the truth behind Grimly's darkness, she must choose between bitterness and forgiveness before the pain consuming Grimly destroys her too. Set in the Deep South of the 1960s, Fresh Baked Lies blends Southern storytelling with elements of Christian magical realism in a moving story of grace, redemption, and healing.
