Publisher's summary

Swept away from Louisiana bayou country as a child, Miranda Miller is a woman without a past. She has a husband and child of her own and a fulfilling job in a Manhattan museum, but she also has questions - about the tragedy that cut her off from family and caused her to be sent away and about those first five years of her life, which were erased from her memory entirely.

Summoned to the bedside of Willy Pedreaux, the old caretaker of her grandparents' antebellum estate, Miranda goes back to Louisiana at last, hoping to learn the truths of her past and receive her rightful inheritance. But Willy's premature death plunges Miranda into a nightmare of buried secrets, priceless treasure, and unknown enemies.

Follow one woman's search through the hidden rooms of a bayou mansion, the enigmatic snares of an ancient myth, and the all-consuming quest for a heart open enough for love - and for God.

"Intricately plotted and exquisitely detailed, Clark's latest novel is fantastic. There's a gothic feel throughout, and the outcome of the mystery is fascinating.... Mystery lovers should move this to the top of their purchase lists." (RT Book Reviews)

Mindy Starns Clark is the best-selling author of more than 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction, and has received numerous honors, including Christy Awards, Inspirational Readers Choice Awards, and RT Book Review's Career Achievement Award.

Excellent Read

This is a fantastic book. The story line is intriguing and the feeling of the overall book keeps things moving at a nice pace. The bits of history and the details about Louisiana and the culture of the people were well represented. The twist at the end caught me completely by surprise. I highly recommend the book.

Great Storyline!!

Loved this book. It’s hard to find a well written book with an original storyline these days, but this one certainly pulled it off!

so many twists and turns

I truly enjoyed the story. Having grown up in Louisiana, I know there are many legends in the Cajun culture. Most legends are based in some facts. Watching the transformation of the main character and uncovering the history that made her so distant was believable based on my knowledge of trauma. The story was well-researched.

Just when you think you have the plot....

Struggled at first, I think because I had just finished a book with a man narrator. I just couldn't get into for some reason but then I took a 9 hr drive with 6 hours left and I am so glad I finished this. Twist and turns I didn't even consider. A good listen!

Good story- Christian based

All in all, this is a good story. What had me on easy, though very spiritual myself, was the insertion of strong Christianity in the last chapter of this book. It was not necessary. In fact, it actually ruined the book for me. I respect all beliefs, keep them out of my literature.
