Searching for the mother who had abandoned her as an infant, Henrietta Meredith is drawn to Raven Rock, a small town in the mountains of North Carolina, and to the long-neglected Honeysuckle House where her mother once lived. Why did terrified Maggie Grey leave her baby with the kindly middle-aged Merediths promising to return, only to disappear forever? And what is the link between the faded snapshot of a group of young women and the dark period in the town's past?
In her efforts to uncover the truth, Henrietta awakens a dormant evil, endangering her own life and the lives of those around her, the friendly people who had made a place for her in the community. Can one of them be hiding a dreadful secret?
Here is the engrossing story of a young woman whose quest leads her down a dangerous, twisting path to a confrontation with unthinkable evil.

I was born and raised in Calhoun, Georgia, and graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in journalism.
For my first book, Aunt Matilda's Ghost, a novel for children, I received the Excellence in Writing Award at the Winthrop College (now University) Writer's Conference for the best published book in that category by a South Carolina writer.
Raven Rock, a mystery for adult readers, published by Dodd Mead in 1986, was followed by Cry At Dusk in 1987. Carroll and Graf brought out Deadly Promise, a Christmas mystery, in 1989. All were published in England and were selections of several book clubs. Two were also published in paperback.
A fourth novel of suspense, The Widow's Woods, was published by Carroll & Graf in 1991, followed by Final Curtain in 1992, and Minerva Cries Murder in 1993. Angel At Troublesome Creek, the first in a mystery series featuring Augusta Goodnight, guardian angel "temp," was published in 1999 by St. Martin's Minotaur. This will be followed by An Angel To Die For.
A short story, "Waiting For Pixie", was included in a mystery anthology, MALICE IV, and I have published short fiction in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Mary Higgins Clark Mystery Magazine, and others.
I live with my husband, Gene, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and we have two grown daughters and five grandchildren.
"A familiar sense of warning, like a hand on my shoulder, came and went so quickly I thought I must have imagined it. But I knew I hadn't; it had happened too many times before. I would have to be careful here
