Winner of the 2009 Independent Publishers Awards Bronze Medal for Popular Fiction, a national recognition of excellence award. Writer Macy Harris moves to the small Southern town of Selby, South Carolina, in search of mild winters and a culture known for its equally warm hospitality. A place to write in rhythm with a slower pace of life. She soon becomes enchanted with Selby s gentle residents, its generations of history, its tradition of horses and dogs, its magnificent old homes and gardens, art and music, and excellent cuisine. But Selby also has its share of eccentric neighbors and family secrets. Secrets that have haunted their caretakers for more than a century, and still whisper from their graves. A tragic train derailment, the dying words of one of its victims, a fabled ruby necklace, a strained childhood friendship, a turn-of-the-century attempted murder, a terrifying storm that washes a 150-year-old secret to the surface -- all come together as part of a tangled, multi-generational mystery that eventually takes an entire town to decipher. The book is punctuated with numerous sepia-toned photographs, which add to the story s strong sense of place.
