In 1920s Huntington, West Virginia, sixteen-year-old Cici Manson is expected to marry and obey - but her heart belongs to May Anne Hatfield, the mysterious new girl at school.

As their secret romance blooms in the shadows, the weight of a conservative town threatens to crush them. When heartbreak turns to tragedy, and love leads to bloodshed, the girls are forced to make an unthinkable choice: disappear... or die trying.

Tense, romantic, and fiercely emotional, Falling for May is a Southern gothic tale of forbidden love, survival, and the lengths we'll go for freedom.
