Acquiescence

When Pamina Campbell learns of a murder committed over two hundred years ago in her Connecticut farmhouse avenging an unforgivable crime, she accepts that there are some things in life that just can't be explained. Two plot threads intertwine as one woman calls to another across three centuries. One story, featuring Susannah Mathews, takes place in the late 1700s, while Pamina's story is set in present day. Pamina learns that disaster the sort of disaster that leaves you numb on a park bench in Brazil can be a freaky thing of beauty. As Pamina and her family try to piece their lives back together in their 1770 home, little do they know that secrecy, homophobia, and a ghastly confession await.
