A SECRET MAY HOLD FOR A HUNDRED YEARS…
AND THEN IT’S TIME FOR THE PAST TO TAKE REVENGE…
Daphne Duvallon vowed never to return to the South years ago when she left her philandering fiance at the altar. Now a family wedding has called her to Natchez, Mississippi, a city as mysterious and compelling as the ghostly voices that haunt her dreams. From a time when the oldest settlement on the Mississippi was in its heyday and vast fortunes were made and lost, Daphne begins to uncover the secrets of an ancestor whose fate is somehow linked with her own. In a compelling and mesmerizing tale, now Daphne must right the wrongs of the past, or follow the same path into tragedy… Ciji Ware weaves a richly rewarding read brimming with local color, humor, sexual tension, environmental issues, and even a fun glimpse of the world of Jazz bands …along with history of some two hundred years past.
