Struggling with the haunting fragments of his malignant past, Logan Hinkley spends his days in a state of paralysis on his death bed. When the homecoming of his eldest daughter and grandson-Rebecca and Atticus-draws the lingering whispers of uncertainty into the home, the ethereal balance of a kindred past filled with discrepancy tilts. A boy's curiosity awakens the long kept heartache of a life in tending-thanks to the scarring events of the American Civil War-a moment that leaves all to question morality, social dependency, and love.
