A brighter future awaits--if she can escape the shadows of the past Emily Leland sheds no tears when her abusive husband is killed in a bar fight, but what awaits her back home in Sweetwater Crossing is far from the welcome and comfort she expected. First she discovers her father has died under mysterious circumstances. Then the house where the new schoolteacher and his son are supposed to board burns, leaving them homeless. When Emily proposes turning the family home into a boardinghouse, her sister is so incensed that she leaves town. Alone and broke, her family name sullied by controversy, Emily is determined to solve the mystery of her father's death--and to aid Craig Ferguson, despite her fears of men. The widowed schoolmaster proves to be a devoted father, an innovative teacher, and an unexpected ally. Together they must work to unmask a killer and escape the shadows of their own pasts in order to forge a brighter future. Bestselling author Amanda Cabot transports you to 1880s Texas Hill Country for a brand-new series that will have you flipping pages to solve the mystery and get to the happily-ever-after you long for. *** "Cabot is becoming a must-buy. Her sensitivity and realistic portrayal of characters often on the margins of history really shine in this new historical series."--Library Journal starred review "Cabot skillfully links diverse plotlines in a tightly woven narrative, putting forth an uplifting message about the value of all human life that's moving without detracting from the plot's suspense."--Publishers Weekly

Historical fiction with a mystery, a perfect combination. Emily Leland may not have known what to expect when she returned to her childhood home after being unexpectedly widowed after only a year of marriage, but certainly not to be rejected by her sister, or to discover her father dead in the barn. When the town's sheriff and doctor determine her father took his own life, it is up to Emily and the new schoolmaster to prove otherwise.
Amanda Cabot has written a compelling story that will keep readers highly engaged. Even those who may be quick to select a suspect will want to read into the wee hours to confirm their suspicions and determine the killer's motives. Cabot also introduces characters who are vulnerable. Readers will applaud those who champion them, and their ire will rise against those who demean them. Hopefully it will also inspire readers to be more aware of personal opportunities to champion those they encounter being ostracized.
