Susan Slade’s life was about as perfect as it gets. The only child of middle-aged parents, she grew up secure in their ceaseless love and attention. Now a young woman, she is surrounded by true friends and a wonderful man who wants to marry her. Her picture-perfect life begins to unravel with the deaths of her parents, only months apart. She braves the agonizing process of settling their estate only to find herself caught in a deeper pain. As she innocently sorts through her mother’s dresser, she discovers a bundle of yellowed documents – documents that shake Susan’s faith in all she thought was real. Thus begins an anguishing search for her true identity that takes her to the North Carolina coast and into the arms of another man. The suspense and drama never relent as Susan faces and defies forces intent on blocking her search -- and follows a trail of buried secrets that ultimately lead to a revelation so astounding that even Susan finds it incredible.
This is another book of Dixie Land's that you won't be able to put down once you start reading it and you can't stop until you get to the last page. Susan has a perfect life with loving parents and a wonderful man she thinks she loves. Her parents are both killed and when she is settling their estate she finds papers that shock her. She needs to investigate to find the answers and this leads her to another town. There she finds a new family and a man she loves. When she is looking for those answers there is a lot of danger to her from people who don't want her to know the truth. This book is full of suspense and it keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. I highly recommend it. Norma Hammer, Clinton, IA
