520    "In this intimate debut novel, a woman returns to her 
       small Southern hometown in the wake of her mother's sudden
       death--only to find the past upended by stunning family 
       secrets. Lila Bruce Breedlove never quite felt at home in 
       Wesleyan, Georgia, especially after her father's untimely 
       death when she was a child. Both she and her brother, 
       Henry, fled north after high school, establishing 
       fulfilling lives and relationships of their own, steeped 
       in art and culture. In contrast, their younger sister, 
       Abigail, opted to remain in Georgia to dote on their 
       domineering, larger-than-life mother, Geneva. Yet, despite
       their years-long independence, Lila and Henry both know 
       they've never quite reckoned with their upbringing. Now, 
       when their elderly mother dies suddenly and strangely in 
       the muscadine arbor behind the family estate, they must 
       travel back to the town that raised them. But as Lila and 
       Henry uncover more about Geneva's death, shocking truths 
       are revealed that upend the Bruces' history as they know 
       it, sending the pair on an extraordinary journey to chase 
       a truth that will dramatically alter the course of their 
       lives. With deep compassion and sharp wit, Pamela Terry 
       brings to life the culture and expectations of a small 
       Southern town that values appearance over authenticity--
       and where the struggle to live honestly can lead to 
       devastating consequences."--Provided by publisher.
