About the Book

"We Walker women were born screaming into this world, the beginning of a lifelong quest to find what would quiet us. But whatever drove us away was never stronger than the pull of what brought us back ..." When Vivien Walker left her home in the Mississippi Delta, she swore never to go back, as generations of the women in her family had. But in the spring, nine years to the day since she' d left, that' s exactly what happens-- Vivien returns, fleeing from a broken marriage and her lost dreams for children. What she hopes to find is solace with "Bootsie," her dear grandmother who raised her, a Walker woman with a knack for making everything all right. But instead she finds that her grandmother has died and that her estranged mother is drifting further away from her memories. Now Vivien is forced into the unexpected role of caretaker, challenging her personal quest to find the girl she herself once was. But for Vivien things change in ways she cannot imagine when a violent storm reveals the remains of a long-dead woman buried near the Walker home, not far from the cypress swamp that is soon to give up its ghosts. Vivien knows there is now only one way to rediscover herself-- by uncovering the secrets of her family and breaking the cycle of loss that has haunted her them for generations.

Review :

"A story with something for almost everyone: betrayal, murder, history, family secrets, and a little romance. Readers will find it difficult to put this one down since each chapter leaves one craving more of the Walker women's stories. Recommended."

-- "Library Journal"

"Gothic gold."

-- "Atlantan"

"This multigenerational family saga is a book you could get lost in."

-- "Delta Magazine"

"This southern saga of life in Mississippi is one of White's best."

-- "Huffington Post"

"Three experienced narrators bring to life the Walker women of Indian Mound, Mississippi...Listeners learn of Bootsie's life in the 1920s, which is recounted in a sweet Southern accent by Jennifer Ikeda. Pilar Witherspoon delivers mother Carol Lynne's story of her rebellious years in the 1960s. And Susan Bennett uses flat tones to describe Vivien's difficulties as well as the present-day events."

-- "AudioFile"

"Vivien Walker comes to terms with her troubled past in this sweet Southern tale of the bond between mothers and daughters...A slow-moving mystery culminates in an emotionally satisfying moment of redemption for a stubborn heroine and the family she grows to love."

-- "Kirkus Reviews"
