Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels explores a Southern family’s buried history, which will change the life of the woman who unearths it, secret by shattering secret.
Two years after the death of her husband, Merritt Heyward receives unexpected news—Cal’s family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by his reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt.
In Beaufort, the secrets of Cal’s unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff. This unknown legacy, now Merritt’s, will change and define her as she navigates her new life—a life complicated by the arrival of her too young stepmother and ten-year-old half brother.
Soon, in this house of strangers, Merritt is forced into unraveling the Heyward family past as she faces her own fears and finds the healing she needs in the salt air of the Lowcountry.
Customer Reviews
A great summer read, any time of year
I’m a long time fan of Karen White and this story did not disappoint. But I have two problems with it and they are somewhat spoiler in nature. So don’t read on if you don’t want the story spoiled. The first has to do with why or how Cal managed to track down Merritt and if it was part of a nefarious plan to exact revenge. The second unanswered question for me was why Cal called his mother a murderer. She had nothing to do with the deaths of anyone. Other than these hangover like dangling unsolved questions I loved the book.
The sound of Glass
I loved this as I have every book Karen has written. She tells stories like no one else.
So moving
This book was so inspirational to me. I have always been intrigued by South Carolina and that area and the graphics which were used were beautiful and then the back story ; support for the the story about abuse was just really really heart touching.
