All his life Derek has searched for the truth about the parents he never knew: a father who died before he was born and a mother who followed soon after. After thirteen years of living and working on the Worthington Plantation—where his parents worked before him—he finally begins to think he'll never know who they were or what happened to them. Then one day, Jonathan, the eldest son of the household, and his wife come to stay. As the new visitors stir up still waters at the plantation, facts surrounding Derek's heritage slowly unravel. While Derek struggles to find the answers he has desperately wanted his whole life, Mrs. Worthington does everything she can to make sure he never learns the truth.
In the third book of the trilogy, life at the plantation takes a dark turn as tragedy after tragedy strike. Derek faces opposition when Jonathan discovers his efforts to learn to read and write. There is a fire on the property. Catherine's health continues to decline. When Derek is locked in the attic, he finally uncovers the truth about his parents in a pile of old letters, but it might too late to matter....
