Two sisters. One mystery. A family changed forever.
At the turn of the twentieth century, sisters Emmy and Callie Bullock are living a privileged life when their well-ordered Alabama household gets turned upside down by the arrival of Lily McGee. Arrestingly beautiful, Lily quicklyâand innocentlyâdraws the wrong kind of attention.
After Lily has a baby, Callie witnesses something she was never meant to seeâor did she? Her memory is a haze, just an image in her mind of Emmy standing on a darkened riverbank and cradling Lilyâs baby girl. Only when the sisters are separated does the truth slowly come to lightâincluding
a revelation that will shape the rest of Callieâs life.
