Book description
Jocelyn Minton is a woman torn between two worlds. Her mother grew up
in a world of private schools and afternoon tea, but she married the
local handyman. After her mother died when Joce was only five, her
father remarried into his own class, and Joce was an outsider -- until
she met Edilean Harcourt, sixty years her senior, but a kindred soul.
When Miss Edi dies, she leaves Jocelyn all her worldly possessions,
which include clues to a mystery that began in 1941, set in a small
town in Virginia that Joce has never heard of. But, because of her
benefactor's notorious past, the townspeople know who Joce is, and
they've plotted out her entire future, including who she is meant to
marry. But Jocelyn has her own ideas about men -- and secrets that no
one wants revealed.
