Let me die in his footsteps

Lori Roy

On a dark Kentucky night in 1952, Annie Holleran crosses into forbidden territory. Everyone knows Hollerans don't go near Baines -- not since Joseph Carl was buried two decades before -- but Annie runs through her family's lavender fields toward the Baines' well. When the body she sees in the moonlight is discovered come morning, Annie will have much to explain. It was 1936. That year, Annie's aunt, Juna Crowley, with her black eyes and her long blond hair, came of age. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of the seven Baine brothers. But then he looked into Juna's eyes and they made him do things that cost innocent people their lives. As she comes of age as Aunt Juna did in her own time, Annie's dread mounts. Juna will come home now to finish what she started. If Annie is to save herself, her family, and this small Kentucky town, she must prepare for Juna's return, and the revelation of what really happened all those years ago
