A death in the present-a killing in the past--a possible new future.
After twenty years away, Jo Devereux flies home to Ireland for her mother's funeral -- the mother she hasn't spoken to for more than two decades.
Every minute there reminds her of all the reasons she left and she has no desire to reacquaint herself with her home village. Or with Rory O'Donovan, the only man she ever loved, who still lives in the village.
Then, she reads her mother's will.
Her inheritance is a chest full of letters and diaries, written by her grandmother and great-aunt. In them, Jo discovers a legacy of poison and hatred that has laid waste to the lives of four generations of women.
Facing the birth of her child, and single motherhood, Jo must now find out the ultimate truth: Who really killed her great uncle? What secrets and lies lay under her mother's and grandmother's unshakeable silence?
Could her mission to uncover the truth about her foremothers be the key to a future with Rory? Or will it be their undoing?
Read this haunting, heartbreaking saga of love, loss, and secrets in a country and a family ravaged by all kinds of intimate war.
