Alden Anderson is a successful surgeon who has recently hit rock-bottom, which spins her into a concealed depression. Recognizing a need to make changes in her life, she decides to explore the roots of her family’s past. However, as Alden begins to probe she quickly learns that with every secret a family collects, there are forbidden seeds planted around the roots of their tree. Though the seeds may not be spoken of, they grow; sprouting up around the tree as a reminder that every family has sin in secrets.
Great characters and good plot. Loved the twists and turns. Southern dynasties are intertwining and people have to sacrifice more than they want to for the sake of the "family name."
