Description
Assistant D.A. Alexa Hamilton has just been handed the kind of case that will define her career: the trial of accused serial killer Luke Quentin.
Sifting through mountains of forensic evidence, Alexa relentlessly builds her case and prepares for a high-stakes trial... until threatening letters throw her private life into turmoil. The letters are addressed to Alexa's beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Savannah, whom Alexa has raised alone since her painful divorce years earlier. Alexa is certain that Quentin is behind the letters—and that they are too dangerous to ignore.
Suddenly Alexa must make the toughest choice of all: send her daughter back to the very place Alexa swore she would never return to—her ex-husband's world of southern tradition, long memories, and the antebellum charm of Charleston.
While Alexa's trial builds to a climax in New York, Savannah settles into southern life and discovers a part of her family history she's never known. As a family's wounds are exposed and the healing begins, Alexa and Savannah—after a season in different worlds—come together again, strengthened by the trials they have faced, changed by the mysteries they have unraveled, and armed with miracles that are uniquely their own.
