An intriguing tale of faith, love, and death, that spans the
generations. When fourteen year old, Amelia Morelli, loses her
beloved father in the 9/11 terrorist attack, her near perfect world
comes to a stand still.
In an attempt to rescue the melancholic Amelia, her Granny Lou,
orchestrates a search for the girl's ancestral namesake. The family
sleuths travel from their Connecticut home, to the tidewater area
of Virginia. With dogged determination, they eventually uncover the
truth behind the strange disappearance of the family 19th century
matriarch, from her privileged, plantation home. Parallels are
drawn between Amelia and her namesake, and lessons from the past
speak to the young girl. With the continued support of her
Christian family, Amelia begins to heal.
In the wake of the family quest, both heroine and reader, are
left to ponder the impact our ancestors might have upon the living.
In a strange twist, this story suggests that our forebearers never
leave us at all, for better or worse, we leave them.
