For Elizabeth Goodweather of Full Circle Farm, still a newcomer after more than twenty years, one terrible glimpse ignites a mystery that reaches back years into these hills, drawing together dozens of seemingly unconnected lives. Elizabeth sees a frail old woman on a high porch where dolls hang by twine. When the woman jumps, and Elizabeth reacts, there is no turning back.

      North Carolina amateur sleuth Elizabeth Goodweather, 54, returns after Old Wounds uneasy about her relationship with Phillip, a former cop and the best friend of her deceased husband. First on her agenda: facing the attempted suicide of her friend Nola, ten years her senior. As Nola becomes increasingly unresponsive during her recovery, Elizabeth remains convinced that someone may be deliberately harming Nola in order to precipitate the sale of Nola's homestead on Gudger's Stand, a property steeped with secrets of the past. Lane craftily deepens the swiftly-moving plot with liberal sprinklings of Carolina folklore.
