A heartwarming romance about a woman who finds true love in a small
town, from New York Times bestselling author, Jude Deveraux.
Jocelyn Minton is a woman torn between two worlds. Her mother grew up
attending private schools and afternoon teas, but she married the local
handyman. After her mother died when Joce was only five years old, her
father remarried into his own class, and Joce became an outsider--until
she met Edilean Harcourt. Although she was sixty years Joce's senior,
Miss Edi was a kindred soul who understood her like no one else ever
had.
When Miss Edi passes away, she leaves Joce all her worldly possessions,
including an eighteenth-century house and a letter with clues to a
mystery that began in 1941. In the letter, Miss Edi also mentions that
she has found the perfect man for Joce--a handsome young lawyer. Joce is
shocked to learn that the mystery, the house, and the future love of her
life are all in Edilean, a small town in Virginia that Miss Edi never
told her about. Hurt that the woman who meant so much to her kept so
many secrets, Jocelyn moves to this tight-knit village in an attempt to
understand the legacy that has been left to her. As she begins to dig
into Miss Edi's mystery, she soon discovers some shocking surprises
about her family's history and her own future--and she meets a man with
his own mysterious past.
