After years of war rations and shortages, Bright Leaf is a prosperous wonderland in full technicolor bloom, and Maddie is dazzled by the bustle of the crisply uniformed female factory workers, the palatial homes, and, most of all, her aunt's glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives. But she soon learns that Bright Leaf isn't quite the carefree paradise that it seems. A trail of misfortune follows many of the women, including substantial health problems, and although Maddie is quick to believe that this is a coincidence, she inadvertently uncovers evidence that suggests otherwise. Maddie wants to report what she knows, but in a town where everyone depends on Big Tobacco to survive, she doesn't know who she can trust--and fears that exposing the truth may destroy the lives of the proud, strong women with whom she has forged strong bonds.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Myers Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Myers Transit   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Fiction Myers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
