Publisher's Synopsis
How do we keep control over our lives when events seem out of control, especially while hiding from our past?
In Chasing the Dream and Declining Fortunes, Kathleen Haun introduced us to the self-reliant and determined Lucy Murphy. In Kathleen's seventh novel, Lucy becomes involved in a mystery that takes place in 1862 Placerville, a gold rush town mentioned in several of her books. While pursuing the solution of a number of ruthless acts challenging the town, Lucy has to confront some difficult truths, both about herself and those closest to her. We also get the full answer only hinted at in Declining Fortunes, as to why she moved her family to Placerville during the Civil War.
