Keeping Noisettes
A Good Women Story

A knock on the door interrupts the quiet lives of a middle-aged woman and her daughter.
Keeping Noisettes is a short story from Halle Hill’s Good Women, which delves into the lives of twelve Black women across the Appalachian South. Darkly funny and deeply human, Good Women observes how place, blood ties, generational trauma, obsession, and boundaries―or lack thereof―influence how we navigate our small worlds, and how those worlds so often collide in ways we don’t expect.
