Cassie Simon is a struggling artist living in New York City. When she receives a call from a magistrate in Sweetwater, TN, telling her she has inherited sixty acres of land from her grandfather, whom she never knew, she takes it as a sign: it’s time for a change. She moves into the house where her mother, Ellen, was born—and where she died tragically when Cassie was three.
From the moment she arrives in Sweetwater, Cassie is overwhelmed by the indelible mark her mother’s memory had left behind. As she delves into the thicket of mystery that surrounds her mother’s death, Cassie begins to understand the desperate measures the human heart is capable of.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this utterly absorbing novel, an aspiring sculptor pounces on the chance to flee her listless and loveless big-city life for a fresh start in an old house in Sweetwater, Tenn. But as Cassie soon discovers, the roomy country home comes crowded with ancient lies and devastating secrets. Christina Baker Kline, author of the bestselling Orphan Train, does a beautiful job capturing the inner lives of the two women at this story’s heart: the inquisitive Cassie and her standoffish maternal grandmother. As the mystery surrounding her family’s turbulent past tightens its chokehold, Cassie must hold fast to her personal truths.
