Synopsis

"A highly ambitious, engaging, and evocative novel and a hauntingly captivating read." -The Sunday Independent
What happens when a woman returns home, haunted by the sins of her foremothers?

Facing the birth of her illegitimate child, Jo Deveraux has spent the last six months mourning her mother in Mucknamore, the small hometown that she ran from twenty years ago.

After poring over a trunk of letters left by her grandmother and great- aunt, she unravels a heartbreaking legacy of bitter secrets - secrets that have haunted the women in her family for four generations.

And now she must find out the ultimate truth: Who really killed her great uncle? Were the women in her family more involved in this crime than she was led to believe? Why were they condemned to institutionalized silence?

And then there is Rory... her childhood love. Could her mission to uncover the truth about their families be the key to a possible future together? Or could it be the very cause of their undoing?

As she pieces together the poisonous fragments of the past, Jo must now determine what the truth will mean for her future. Can she really risk losing everything all over again?

Read this haunting, heartbreaking saga of love, loss, and secrets in a country ravaged by intimate wars of all kinds.
