From a distance, the Harlans
appear to be the perfect Southern family. Wealth and local
fame mask the drama and dysfunction swirling through their
family line. But as the summer heats up, a flood tide of
long hidden secrets surface.
Devastation from a rape followed by the murder of two family
members brings three generations of the Harlans together on
their pecan plantation in Bay Spring, Alabama. Chief among
them is Anniston, who by the time she turned thirteen
thought she’d seen it all. But as her heart awakens to the
possibility of love, she begins to deal with her loneliness
and grief.
This tender coming-of-age tale, inspired by the story of
Tamar in 2 Samuel 13, shows how true healing and hope comes
only from God. Though our earthly family can wound and
disappoint, our heavenly Father brings freedom to those long
held captive through His mercy and grace.
