The Secrets She Carried

When a young woman returns to North Carolina after a thirty-year absence, she finds that the once grand tobacco plantation she called home holds more secrets than she ever imagined.

Though Peak Plantation has been in her family for generations, Leslie Nichols canâ€™t wait to rid herself of the farm left to her by her estranged grandmother Maggieâ€”and with it the disturbing memories of her motherâ€™s death, her fatherâ€™s disgrace, and her unhappy childhood. But Leslie isnâ€™t the only one with a claim to Peak.

Jay Davenport, Peakâ€™s reclusive caretaker, has his own reasons for holding onto the land bequeathed to him by Leslieâ€™s grandmother. Before she died, Maggie hinted at a terrible secret surrounding Adele Laveau, a ladyâ€™s maid who came to Peak during the 1930s and died under mysterious circumstances. Jay is haunted by Maggieâ€™s story, yet the truth eludes himâ€”until Leslie uncovers a cryptically marked grave on the property.

As they delve into the mystery of Adeleâ€™s death, Leslie and Jay discover shocking secrets that extend deep into the roots of Leslieâ€™s family treeâ€”secrets that have the power to alter her life forever.
