A century-old unsolved murder

A disputed inheritance

A family secret that some will kill to protect . . .

When Sara Marsalaā€™s beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, she leaves Sara a valuable piece of land in Sicily, but thereā€™s a catch: the locals refuse to acknowledge the rightful owner of the deed, and if Sara wants the land she must first uncover the truth about what happened to her great-grandmother, Serafina Marsala. Because Rosie didnā€™t think Serafina died of illness as family lore states . . . Rosie believed Serafina was murdered, and she wants Sara to prove it.

Saraā€™s investigations take her up and down the picturesque Italian countryside and, along the way, she learns more about Serafina, a headstrong young woman thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life for all the woman of her small village. Yet a woman who challenges the status quo is never safe, and as Sara discovers more about Serafina, she comes up against the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother.

And now they want to destroy Sara too.
