In a powerful and poignant novel, an artist delves into her family's enigmatic past and the women whose lives were intertwined with her grandfather’s legacy.
Tig Costello arrives in Darren, Kentucky, to paint a portrait of her grandfather, Benjamin, a local hero renowned for his contributions and war service. Despite his celebrated status, Tig feels disconnected from him, viewing him as a distant figure. To bridge this gap, she seeks out Eloise Price, the woman imprisoned for murdering Benjamin fifty years ago.
Now confined to a state institution, Eloise is willing to share her story with Tig. Through Eloise's accounts, Tig learns about herself, her mysterious grandmother, and the courageous, desperate women linked to Benjamin. Eloise’s revelations about Whitmore Halls, a mansion once a refuge and a site of turmoil, shed light on the pivotal events that shaped their lives.
As Tig pieces together the fragmented history, she confronts not only the truth about her grandfather but also the unresolved pain of her own past. Eloise’s stories force Tig to face her family's secrets and her own emotional scars, leading her to a deeper understanding of herself and her lineage.
This novel weaves together themes of legacy, family bonds, and personal discovery, offering a moving exploration of how the past influences the present and the courage required to face long-buried truths.
