Multicultural African-American | Multicultural Mystery
After a long absence, forty-year-old Felicia Fontenot has
returned to her hometown to care for her ailing mother.
Nestled in her quaint bedroom in the small, quiet
community, Felicia adjusts to her new situation—including
that fact that she now lives across the street from Luther
Jackson, her first love—and his wife, Juanita, the woman
for whom he left her. But Felicia bears Luther no ill
will. Their past is in the past. Yet no sooner has she
settled in than the town is rocked by a tragic crime—one
that hits all too close to home. When Felicia is awakened one early morning by the piercing
sound of sirens and the intense smell of smoke, she is
shocked to find that the scene involves Luther’s house,
now cordoned off by reams of yellow police tape. To her
dismay, she quickly learns that both Luther’s pregnant
wife and his young son have been horrifically killed.
Felicia cannot imagine how Luther will go on without his
family—she had only just seen them happily picnicking in
their yard. But things are worse than Felicia thinks, for
the police have instantly identified Luther as their prime
suspect. With nowhere else to turn, Luther’s distraught aunt asks
Felicia for help—leaving her torn between her mother’s
admonition not to get involved—and her own desire to clear
Luther and perhaps gain a second chance for the love she
has never forgotten. It is a journey that will lead
Felicia to discover not only the depths of her own
humanity, but the true meaning of love…
