Deep in the South Carolina mountains nests the small
township of Ransom where Elizabeth Goodweather is relishing
in how her life is evolving. Six years after her husband's
death, she's finally emotionally involved with a wonderful
man, both daughters are doing well in their chosen
professions, and her business is flourishing every day. Her
focus takes an unexpected leap when she sees someone
attempting to jump off the Grudgers Stand's roof and she
cannot help her curiosity to investigate.
Ransom and its history dates well back into pioneer times
and Grudgers Stand in particular goes as far back as 1860,
which is the beginning of an unstoppable chain of events
Elizabeth is destined to get in the middle of.
Unfortunately, by still being a newcomer after 20 years
living in Ransom, she finds that the unique characters of
this small town are not so willing to share their family
secrets. How many more lives will be taken because of the
mistakes done in the past before the darkness ends?
This second book in Vicki Lane's Ransom series is
captivating until the very last paragraph with characters
you will continue to fall in love with. Definitely a must-
read!!
