Refuge

Late one night in 1929, a young Charleston society matron named Mary Seneca Steele goes to bed while considering suicide. But instead she arises, steals her children and her husband's new Auburn Phaeton, and sets out on a journey of enlightenment, which begins with learning how to drive.
The scandal begets a string of tragedies, including murder, some tough and urgent maturing, and a surprising salvation.
