Secrets of the Cherokee Hideaway continues with further exploration of the cellar vault and a revelation about the Civil War in a portion of the South that experienced divided loyalties. Once again, Raleigh Walker opens the pages of a journal that has been sealed for decades on the Riddles' plantation. Along with Jenny and her family, he discovers writings and artifacts from the bloodiest war in American history, unravelling more of the mystery that surrounds the hideaway. What they find is a tale of the ugliness and brutality that developed in North Alabama between those who favored Secession and those who wished to remain loyal to the Union or even neutral during the war. In this time and place rank with fear, there are accounts of rebellion, espionage, horrendous acts of aggression, and a young school teacher who is caught in the middle of it all. There is also mention of a sanctuary... a hiding place for Union spies located on the plantation itself.

A thirst for adventure leads a young man down a path of discovery. On a hike into the forbidding Sipsey Wilderness, Raleigh Walker discovers some rather interesting artifacts related to the Indian Removal Act during the 1830s. Barely making it out of the forest, he decides to go looking for more information. In doing so, he stumbles across a fascinating woman with a family whose Cherokee background seems strangely tied to the mystery he unearthed in the woods.
Jenny Riddle is a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. When Raleigh enters her life, he gives her a new mission to fight for. Together they begin to put together the pieces of a puzzle, following the story of a young Cherokee couple who escaped the Trail of Tears while also creating a new story of their own, generations later. The hideaway connects the past to the present in this historical fiction of love and hardship.
