Publisher Description
Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual.
When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones.
As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.

Secrets and Bones
This was so different from the author’s Underworld saga. But so so good! I’ve only seen a few other authors who can pull off writing so well in different genres. And this one certainly can! It was suspense and romantic at the same time. There aren’t any cliffhangers but I was so hoping Samantha’s “seizure spells” were more than what was told. But that was only a small part to it and there’s so much that has you guessing all through the book. I was leery of the people no matter how good they seemed. After all, it was a hostile tension in the back of everyone’s mind against each other, Native American and whites. What secrets lay in wait, buried in the tombs for so many years? And are they all buried or do they live within some people who were around in the day? Something caused so many of the women to die during childbirth in the Native American clan. Or was it just an ancient traditions that involved cannibalism? Brandon is sure he lost his daughter that way. Yet there is his grown grandson he raised that is a part of both worlds. He will find out the answers to what his grandpa won’t talk about. And Samantha will find her dream in the archeology world. But will the two of them hate each other in the end or love? So much is going on and I loved it all.
If you like audiobooks, this is fabulous! I love this narrator. Her voice is so soothing and she puts so much life and feeling behind it. It’s like you are living in the world as you listen.
