Sundrenched Water (Paperback or Softback)

The setting is in Southern Pittsylvania County, Virginia. High school graduate Livvy Whitlock's mysterious disappearance occurred in the summer of 1960. Her whereabouts were revealed thirty years later.

Thirty-eight-year-old interior decorator Mattie Noble, who was eight years old at the time of the disappearance and lived on the same Pittsylvania County, Virginia, tobacco farm as Livvy, has always held the key to solving the mystery, though she didn't know it.

Together, Mattie and Ms. Happy (Livvy's mother) retell how the mystery of Livvy's disappearance was unraveled. And how Sundrenched Water was at the root of it all.
