Southern lawyers Andrew McGrath and Angie Lawrence have been seeking the keys to their past and their future most of their lives. Unbeknownst to either of them each has the piece to the puzzle the other is seeking. Through the words of a young girl written in a journal well over a 150 years ago, found by accident, both Angie and Andrew begin the journey of unraveling their history. The last thing they expected to discover was mystery and murder along the way. Neither of them were expecting the brutality they would encounter or the love that grew from it. They quickly realize they must overcome the past if they have any hope for a future together.
