When romance and crime cross paths in a small town, dark secrets come to light and people's lives are suddenly and ruthlessly rearranged. It was no different with Rena Bjorkline and the generations that followed her. In 1936, Rena witnessed Beulah Marsoni stroll into bachelor John's life and claim his as her own. When Beulah willingly shared excruciating secrets of romance and suspense, Rena found herself at the intersection of solid faith and heart-breaking fear. She could handle hard farm work, family tragedy, and the devastating poverty of the Great Depression, but this dreadful news was the final straw. It was time to run. A generation later, Buckthorn Bluff's dream couple, beautiful waitress Lucinda Rae and charming champion Benny Lee were harboring their own secrets. No one must know the hidden trauma and evil forces of their lives. They were locked in prisons of shame and fear, and their happy veneer didn't fool anyone. Sooner or later, something had to be done to escape this terrifying existence. Family and friends sensed Lucinda Rae's life was in turmoil, and they had to act before it was too late. Would their simple efforts make any difference in her tumultuous life?
