Resumen del Editor

A Southern family saga emerges as Nettie begins a quest to discover who she is.

21 years old, Annette Roberta Randall is searching, looking for herself. The perception and sensitivity she relied on to bolster her through an isolated childhood have disappeared, and with them, her sense of self. Nettie also seeks the truth, information about her dysfunctional family and the mysteries that whisper to her in their eccentric family home.

She receives glimpses in the alcohol-induced monologues of her mother, Delores Cecelia; However, DeCe lost herself long before Nettie was born, and she buried her secrets so deep, even the spirits haunting her cannot unlock her soul. Pup, Nettie's peculiar uncle, may have witnessed the most recent chaos, but he cannot communicate what he knows for sure. Nettie's struggles are apparent to her extended family and neighbors, but only she can resolve to overcome the pull of the notorious Kirkland family and Berclaire Mansion. The secrets fester, and DeCe clings to them like the neglected ivy tendrils on the shadowed side of the mansion. Slowly, the truth will unfold, but will it be enough to free Nettie, or will it be the undoing of her mother, DeCe?

Nettie believed it was possible her grandfather, Old Nate, was responsible for the hauntings at the Berclaire Mansion, but the more she learns of her great grandmother, Roberta, she decides he might have been a victim, also. DeCe had been taking pills and drinking alcohol from before the time she was a teenager, attempting to numb herself to her dysfunctional family. Nettie knows she is the seventh child born to DeCe, the others gone before Nettie was born. Some would filter back into her life, but would they help her learn more about her identity, or bring more pain?
