Book Synopsis



In 2003, a child soldier is adopted by a wealthy Virginia family and brought to live on the very ground where her ancestors once toiled in slavery. One day, she slips into the past and witnesses an unspeakable murder of which she is the only witness. Now she must make the impossible decision of which world she belongs, until the decision is made for her, and she comes to understand the meaning of family in a way she could scarcely imagine.
