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 well on the Baines' place, hoping to see her future in the water. Instead, she finds a body, and Annie's future becomes inextricably tied with her family's dark past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 1936, the year Annie's aunt, Juna Crowley, came of age, there were seven Baine boys. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of all the Baine brothers. But then he looked into Juna's black eyes and they made him do things that cost innocent people their lives. With the pall of a young child's death and the dark appetites of men working the sleepy town into a frenzy, Sheriff Irlene Fulkerson saw justice served--or did she? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the investigation continues and 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLori Roy\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBent Road\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel; \u003ci\u003eUntil She Comes Home\u003c\/i\u003e, finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Novel; \u003ci\u003eLet Me Die in His Footsteps\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel; and most recently, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappearing\u003c\/i\u003e.
