The late-day buzz inside Miller’s Diner was a mixture of clattering silverware and muted conversations.

I’ve lived on this street twenty-five years, raised kids, buried my husband, and planted every petunia myself. If he wanted to rule the cul-de-sac with a clipboard, he’d have to face a woman…
Part One: The Door That Changed Everything The slap came without warning.
