Beskrivelse
When Parker Evans inherits a farm in Iowa from a great-aunt she never knew, she is confronted with a past she knew little about, finds a new home, a grandmother who loves her, unearths the answers to a sixty year old mystery, and finds a love directed from beyond the grave. Once in Iowa, Parker discovers she has to live in the house for a year before actually inheriting: a house with no electricity, no running water, and no bathrooms. She can remodel the house, but she can't move out. Parker's first encounter with many in town, including her grandfather, is nothing less than strange. People stare with something close to fear, or step off the sidewalk to avoid her. She tries to chalk it up to small town prejudice against strangers. But is it? The contractor, Shep Baker, is a tall, slow talking cowboy from Texas. Where did he fit into all that was going on? Determined to discover why Rosie left all this to her, and why she became a tyrant, Parker digs into the family's history; a history no one wants dug up. Rosie left behind hundreds of journals, giving some of the answers Parker's searching, but she feels certain her grandfather could fill in a lot of the blanks. Would he finally tell what had happened all those years ago?
