About this item
Althea Bell is still heartbroken by her mothers tragic, premature death -- and tormented by the last, frantic words she whispered into young Altheas ear: Wait for her. For the honeysuckle girl. Shell find you, I think, but if she doesnt, you find her.
Adrift ever since, Althea is now fresh out of rehab and returning to her family home in Mobile, Alabama, determined to reconnect with her estranged, ailing father. While Althea doesnt expect him, or her politically ambitious brother, to welcome her with open arms, shes not prepared for the chilling revelation of a grim, long-buried family secret. Fragile and desperate, Althea escapes with an old flame to uncover the truth about her lineage. Drawn deeper into her ancestors lives, Althea begins to unearth their disturbing history ... and the part shes meant to play in it.
Gripping and visceral, this unforgettable debut delves straight into the heart of dark family secrets and into one womans emotional journey to save herself from a sinister inheritance.
