Eleanor gave up a billion-dollar inheritance to marry Jacob, a poor man from Mississippi, and spent three years hiding who she really was. She planned to bring him home for Thanksgiving and finally tell him the truth.
Instead, he chose the highway. Convinced his mistress could get him promoted, Jacob abandons Eleanor on the road, locks her in the trunk and drives her back South — and she loses the baby. Her brothers find her before despair finishes the job. What follows is a divorce, a slow climb back up, and a woman deciding what to do with the name she spent three years keeping quiet.
