About the Author
Terri Morrison Kaiser was raised in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods, running barefoot on logging roads and splashing in the lakes. She now resides in White Bear Lake, MN, where the land and stories of the past provide endless inspiration. She also writes a newspaper column and blog titled Letters from Musky Falls. When not writing, she loves growing anything that blooms, traveling the backroads, reading a killer book, jamming to classic rock and blues, bugging her two sons, and chasing after her sisters.
From the Back Cover
When a skeletal foot slips from the confines of a downed tree, Foley family secrets whisper like thistle in the wind; enticing, teasing, and daring the truth to come forth.
The year is 1944 and Esther Foley suffers a humiliating introduction to her new neighbor when he finds she and her children sleeping on his land one July morning. The neighbor, Robert Sommers, may be Esther's ticket to a new life, even if she may need to manipulate the situation a tad. A desperate act will change all their lives and Esther will spend the rest of her days and beyond searching for redemption. In the process, she will rediscover the courageous young woman she once was, and know that nothing is out of bounds when a mother needs to protect her own.
Seventy years later, Esther's daughter, Helen, was certain she had out-run the ghosts of her past until the bones are found and the rumors begin. A box of letters and a mysterious ring hold the key to all that Helen has blocked from memory - along with her part in the shattering events of the past.
