Synopsis

From the bestselling author of "After the Rain," "Sea Change, " and "The Color of Light."..

From the time she was twelve, Julie Holt knew what a random tragedy can do to a family. At that tender age, her little sister disappeared--never to be found. It was a loss that slowly eroded the family bonds she once relied on. As an adult with a prestigious job in the arts, Julie meets a struggling artist who reminds her so much of her sister, she can't help feeling protective. It is a friendship that begins a long and painful process of healing for Julie, leading her to a house on the Gulf Coast, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, and to stories of family that take her deep into the past.

"Tightly plotted...a tangled history as steamy and full of mysteries as the Big Easy itself."--"Atlanta Journal Constitution"
