Summary via
Goodreads...
When a young woman returns to North Carolina after a
thirty-year absence, she finds that the once grand tobacco plantation she
called home holds more secrets than she ever imagined.
Though Peak Plantation has been in her family for
generations, Leslie Nichols can’t wait to rid herself of the farm left to her
by her estranged grandmother Maggie—and with it the disturbing memories of her
mother’s death, her father’s disgrace, and her unhappy childhood. But Leslie
isn’t the only one with a claim to Peak.
Jay Davenport, Peak’s reclusive caretaker, has his
own reasons for holding onto the land bequeathed to him by Leslie’s
grandmother. Before she died, Maggie hinted at a terrible secret surrounding
Adele Laveau, a lady’s maid who came to Peak during the 1930s and died under
mysterious circumstances. Jay is haunted by Maggie’s story, yet the truth
eludes him—until Leslie uncovers a cryptically marked grave on the property.
As they delve into the mystery of Adele’s death,
Leslie and Jay discover shocking secrets that extend deep into the roots of
Leslie’s family tree—secrets that have the power to alter her life forever.
Why I Can’t Wait....
I
can’t help myself when it comes to stories about secrets. Maybe it’s the busy
body in me but it usually makes for a great and interesting read. Plus I loved
a good Southern story.
That’s
what I’m waiting for…please share yours.
hmmm, the secrets do sound interesting!
