Prologue.

The deck of life had nine cards
Love poker heart blood forgive abandon revenge
The truth card was lost
The last card was unknown
The fate of each card was delivered in a handwritten note

It's a time of change in a small 1950's town in deep southern United States, as sharecroppers and town squares are getting pressured by larger economic interests.
The notes, written in a nearly illegible scrawl, arrive at a critical point in each person's life, and alter events in the future.
The fate of one town, and the people who live there, are profoundly affected.
You have a choice, but don't ignore the note.
