As war rages in Afghanistan, a job at a Southern cotton mill offers community and solace to a military mother in this heartfelt novella. When Irene Morgan returns to Frazier Fabrics, a family-owned cotton mill in the hardscrabble heart of Ready, Georgia, she joins an eclectic group of women workers sharing their interwoven lives inside and outside the factory. Under constant surveillance and beholden to production quotas and endless protocols presented under the auspices of “American Pride,” the women sew state-of-the-art camouflage for U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan, one of whom is Irene’s son. As Irene toils under the stress, she comes to embrace the camaraderie of her peers, some of whom play on the mill’s bowling team, the Seam Busters. She comes to know Coquita, a shaky veteran returned from three tours in the Middle East; Kit, an angel-haired rule breaker unlucky in love; the stoic Hmong woman Sue Nag; the beaten but not yet defeated K’shaundra; and Jacky, a well-intentioned fool determined to be heard. When the shadow of death travels from the war front to the home front, Hood deftly braids the threads of these disparate lives into a lifeline for Irene.

Buster takes a trip to Chicago, where he makes a new friend, Farah, visits the Sears Tower, goes to a bakery, and shoots some basketball.
