It was 1932 on a warm June afternoon in Memphis, Tennessee. A single shot was fired. As a result, three, almost four generations of the Eugene Sinclair family were twisted together in a web of secrets and deception. For the next sixty years, far too many skeletons crowd the Sinclair family closet. Those same skeletons churn and rumble behind the closet’s bolted door until, one by one, they begin to break free. In untangling the long-guarded family secrets, Sister, the youngest of the Sinclair women, will find her own peace in the cleansing air of truth. Resting in that peace, Sister not only realizes she is free, but more importantly, she also discovers that she has learned to forgive.
