The leaves of the calendar may be shedding faster than the
sycamores on her family's decaying Mississippi plantation,
but thirty-something Sarah Booth Delaney isn't ready to
sing the blues. Not when she's got a thriving detective
agency and the outspoken, outrageously attired ghost of her
great-great grandmother's nanny to keep her on her toes.
But the matchmaking phantom may have the last word on
motherhood when Sarah Booth takes on the controversial case
of an accused baby killer.
Although Doreen Mallory's been arrested for feeding
sleeping pills to her ten-week-old daughter, no one could
accuse her of lacking faith. A healer who, tragically,
couldn't save her own baby girl, born with multiple birth
defects, Doreen has her own crosses to bear. While the
local law seems convinced of Doreen's guilt, Sarah Booth
isn't so sure.
But why is Doreen reluctant to talk about the men in her
life? Like the televangelist who stands to lose a lot more
than his flock. Or the married politician with family ties
to the Mob. Either of them could be little Rebekah's
father; either of them could also be her killer.
