Carys Owen, a young widow with two children, inherits an antebellum plantation home, Oak House, located in rural, southern Virginia, when her husband dies in mysterious circumstances. Obliged to work from Oak House, she must protect herself and her children from financial pressures and emotional intimidation. The discovery of a recent murder on the plantation threatens her ability to sell Oak House, and far worse, the County Sheriff believes that she and her deceased husband may be responsible for the death. Meanwhile, Carys faces problems on her job. For Carys to secure her children’s future and protect their legacy, she must overcome grief and heartbreak, stand up to the forces seeking to undermine her and discover the murderer. Old journals and diaries ultimately reveal the answers buried in Oak House’s past, in the lives of plantation owners and slaves, and in the lives of later generations caught in up the struggle for civil rights.
