The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels explores a Southern family’s buried history, which will change the life of the woman who unearths it, secret by shattering secret.
 
Two years after the death of her husband, Merritt Heyward receives unexpected news—Cal’s family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by his reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt.
 
In Beaufort, the secrets of Cal’s unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff. This unknown legacy, now Merritt’s, will change and define her as she navigates her new life—a life complicated by the arrival of her too young stepmother and ten-year-old half brother.
 
Soon, in this house of strangers, Merritt is forced into unraveling the Heyward family past as she faces her own fears and finds the healing she needs in the salt air of the Lowcountry.

      In this fish-out-of-water tale, Merritt moves from her native Maine to a small town in South Carolina. The dwelling she is moving into is the family home of her late husband that was left to him by his estranged and recently deceased grandmother Edith. Merritt's plan for her new circumstances is to get some alone time to regroup for a fresh start, but this plan never materializes. One fly in the ointment is her father's widow, Loralee, and their son, Owen, who show up at her new place with no intention of leaving. Then there's Merritt's brother-in-law, Gibbes, who is as full of Southern charm as he is easy on the eyes. As if all the commotion weren't enough to deal with, it turns out Edith kept a secret in her attic--but the real surprise is how it relates to Merritt. VERDICT White (Long Time Gone; The Color of Light; Falling Home) deftly handles the multifaceted plot while creating a vivid atmosphere. Sure to please this prolific and best-selling author's many fans and admirers of Southern women's fiction such as the novels of Mary Kay Andrews.--Karen Core, Detroit P.L.
