With America's entrance into the Second World War, the town
of Blackberry Springs, Alabama, has exploded virtually
overnight. Workers from all over are coming south for jobs
in Uncle Sam's munitions plants--and they're bringing their
pasts with them, right into Dolly Chandler's grand but
fading family home turned boardinghouse.
An estranged young couple from the Midwest, unemployed
professors from Chicago, a widower from Mississippi, a
shattered young veteran struggling to heal from the
war--they're all hoping Dolly's house will help them find
their way back to the lives they left behind. But the house
has a past of its own.
When tragedy strikes, Dolly's only hope will be the circle
of friends under her roof and their ability to discover the
truth about what happened to a young bride who lived there a
century before.
Award-winning and bestselling author Valerie Fraser Luesse
breathes life into a cast of unforgettable characters in
this complex and compassionate story of hurt and healing.
