Sometimes secrets just won't stay hidden . . .
Now from USA Today bestselling author and Christy Award Hall of Fame
inductee Tamera Alexander comes the story of two women from different
centuries living in the same house who share strikingly similar
journeys.
Claire Powell's life is turned upside down when her beloved husband
admits to a "near affair." But when Stephen accepts a partnership with
an Atlanta law firm without consulting her and buys a historic Southern
home sight-unseen--it pushes their already-fractured marriage to the
breaking point. Claire's world spirals, and she soon finds herself in a
marriage she no longer wants, in a house she never asked for.
In 1863, Charlotte Thursmann, pregnant and trapped in a marriage to an
abusive husband, struggles to protect her unborn child and the enslaved
members of her household. Desperate, she's determined to right the evils
her husband and others like him commit. But how can one woman put an end
to such injustice? Especially if her husband makes good on his threat to
kill her?
Both Claire and Charlotte discover truths about themselves they never
realized, along with secrets long hidden that hold the power to bring
God's restoration--if only they choose to let it.

Dual-timeline plot
