It has been two years since the death of Merritt Heywardβs husband, Cal, when she receives unexpected newsβCalβs family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by Calβs reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt.
Charting the course of an uncertain lifeβand feeling guilt from her husbandβs tragic deathβMerritt travels from her home in Maine to Beaufort, where the secrets of Calβs unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff.
