Publisher's Synopsis
Nora's family secrets could destroy her dreams. Nora Rainwater's uncle is the notorious Cherokee Joe, known throughout Alabama as a brutal thief. When Nora takes a job as personal secretary to the affluent and influential Lucille Graham, she must hide her heritage and her family in order to keep her job. Mrs. Graham's own daughter died as a result of a recent robbery, and Nora fears that her uncle may have been involved. Allen Lewis doesn't understand what it is about Nora that he can't resist, but one thing's certain: whatever it is, it's good. Allen thought he'd never stop grieving his lovely wife, Elizabeth, but the sunshine Nora brings to the Graham household and the happiness she brings to his heart has brought him back to life. The truth must be told at some point, and when it is, will anyone survive?
