Bluebeard Southern Gothic Retelling It's been so, so long since she's known someone who was kind. Alexandra is running, finally. After a relationship that has caused so much pain has finally reached it's peak, she has finally left. She finds herself in a small town in Texas. It smells like fresh peaches, new blossoms, warm pies and so much hope she could bury herself in it. This town, however, harbors a dark secret. Darker than, perhaps, what she is running so far from. And she may not survive it.
