Product Description
A breathtaking new novel by bestseller Deborah Smith—with a story that’s equal parts mystery, history, and undying love.
For twenty-five years Darl Union and Eli Wade have held each other in their hearts. Darl and Eli were childhood friends in the small North Carolina town of Burnt Stand. Raised by her steely grandmother, Darl is the heir to Hardigree Marble Company, which controls the town. Growing up, Darl was always taught to keep her distance from the townspeople—but she couldn’t keep herself from loving Eli, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks whose father was a stonecutter for Hardigree Marble.
Eli fled Burnt Stand with his family one night after they were caught up in a mystery that years later has still never been solved. Darl’s aunt Clara was found murdered—and Darl could never tell the truth about that night without tearing her own family apart.
But a secret buried is a secret that will one day be unearthed. And Darl knows she can’t lie to Eli again. As the mystery at her family’s heart comes to the surface a second time, Darl turns to the one person who might help—if she can ever get him to trust her again.
Drawing on her “spellbinding” storytelling techniques (Booklist), Deborah Smith has woven a transfixing and heart-rending novel about the darker side of family myths, and a magical and shimmering story about love’s destiny.
