Product Description

▼▲

And so begins the struggle Isla Weehunt—wife of wealthy chicken farmer, Scott Weehunt—encounters to keep her family buried in the past and her secrets hidden. But plans, no matter how well thought out, have a way of taking their own paths. Isla receives a call late one Friday night that rocks her perfectly crafted life. Velvet, her estranged sister of seventeen years, has died, leaving behind a teenage son, Randal, and a tangled mess of murder and chaos.
Isla never thought she would go home to the foothills of North Carolina and to Nantahala, the sweet-rugged gorge of her childhood. Taking her nephew into her life was never on her agenda. The thought of conversing with her mother, devastated by Alzheimer’s, seems out of reach. This is probably for the best, but there are questions to be answered about Vel-vet’s death and hidden stories that go back generations.

A Place and a Story That Will Take Your Breath Away

Mama always said our lives were ghost stories--metaphors--to hide the truth behind.

And so begins the struggle Isla Weehunt--wife of wealthy chicken farmer, Scott Weehunt--encounters to keep her family buried in the past and her secrets well hidden. But plans, no matter how well thought out, have a way of taking their own paths.

Isla receives a call late one Friday night that rocks her perfectly crafted life. Velvet, her estranged sister of seventeen years, has died in what appears to be an arson, leaving behind a teenage son, Randal, and a tangled mess of murder and chaos. Isla never thought she would return to Nantahala, to the sweet, rugged gorge of her childhood. And taking her nephew into her life was certainly never on her agenda. The thought of conversing with her mother, devastated by Alzheimer's, seems out of reach. But there are questions that need answering about Velvet's death and hidden stories that go back generations.

Isla's life will change whether she embraces it or not.
