You come to me in my dreams and we talk of things that cannot be explained in this life. How we have been brought together, I do not know, but I do wish to see you again…
A Mississippi Plantation: 150 years after the Civil War nearly tore a nation asunder, the battle for freedom still rages in the heart of Ironwood's newest mistress.
Emily Burns grew up an orphan, so she never expected to inherit a southern plantation. When she discovers an old diary hidden in the attic, her life becomes strangely entwined with her Civil War ancestor and she soon begins to wonder how a woman long dead can keep showing up in her dreams.
Torn between her strange desire to honor Lydia's wishes and practicality, Emily cannot decide if she will keep Ironwood. Yet the house calls to her like a melancholy siren, and Emily cannot resist its tune. Resolving to stay only for a little while, and telling herself her decision has nothing at all to do with the handsome handyman helping with restorations, Emily begins to unravel the history of Ironwood – A tale of love and loss, hope and redemption. When the story seeps into her heart, Emily finds that two women separated by centuries can share the unique bonds of family ties and that both her past and her future reside in the soul of Ironwood.
Journey back to Ironwood in this sequel to The Whistle Walk and see Lydia's perspective on some of the scenes from book one as she describes them in her diary, discover some new scenes, and see how Lydia and Ruth's story leads another soul to freedom.
