I am a sucker for a series with a strong, capable woman.  Add the fact that she’s a mom on a mission?

CW: Stillbirth Small Town Rumors is about exactly that…our main character Jennie Sue returns from New York to her hometown in Texas after her husband leaves her for another woman and attempting to evade the FBI because of the diamond trade?
