Where Secrets Sleep

Cicadas always come back. So does everything else the ground was asked to keep.

When Kevan and Nathan inherit Ivymond, the sprawling Georgia estate left to Nathan by his late godmother Dorothy, they believe the hardest part is behind them. But when their young daughter Frannie begins humming a song no one taught her, speaking to a girl no one else can see, and leading them toward something buried at the far edge of the property, they realize Ivymond may be hiding more than old memories.

As they search for answers, the past begins to surface.

Woven between the present day and the summer of 1955, Grace Johnson's story slowly unfolds. She was a girl who knew the difference between a shepherd and a wolf. She loved fiercely and in secret. And she disappeared before anyone thought to ask the right questions.

Now an old ballad about a girl, love, and silence is echoing across the land once more.

As past and present collide, one family's search for truth will uncover what was meant to rest, was never meant to sleep.

"Grace's story broke my heart. the ending stitched it back together. A stunning sequel that surpasses the first."
