From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street
novels comes a story of one woman's journey into a secret past--and
a life she never expected on the ravaged coast of Biloxi,
Mississippi.... Working at an auction house in New York, Julie Holt
meets a struggling artist and single mother who reminds her very
much of her missing younger sister. Monica Guidry paints a vivid
picture of her Southern family through stories, but never says why
or how she lost contact with them. And she has another secret: a
heart condition that will soon take her life. Feeling as if she's
lost her sister a second time, Julie inherits from Monica an
antique portrait--as well as custody of her young son. Taking him
to Biloxi, Mississippi, to meet the family he's never known, Julie
discovers a connection of her own. The portrait, of an old Guidry
relative, was done by her great-grandfather--and unlocks a
surprising family history.... READERS GUIDE INCLUDED
