Then there’re the woods out back that seem to call to her and the inexplicably dry patch of earth out under the old cypress tree. Pretty soon Ginny is immersed in a tragedy that has hung over the town of Homestead for forty years, but the story of where the pastor’s daughter was buried isn’t what anyone expects.
