About the book

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels comes a story of one woman’s journey into a secret past—and a life she never expected on the ravaged coast of Biloxi, Mississippi....

Working at an auction house in New York, Julie Holt meets a struggling artist and single mother who reminds her very much of her missing younger sister.

Taking him to Biloxi, Mississippi, to meet the family he’s never known, Julie discovers a connection of her own. The portrait, of an old Guidry relative, was done by her great-grandfather—and unlocks a surprising family history....
