Thirty years ago Mary Byrd Thornton's nine-year-old stepbrother was murdered. His killer was never found. All these years Mary Byrd has suppressed the tragedy and the knowledge that the murderer is still out there, as well as her own nagging guilt over Stevie's death. She has built a life for herself in Mississippi, with a Southern gentleman for a husband and two children she adores. With her ramshackle house, her teeming garden and her menagerie of animals, she is immersed in a comfortable, if somewhat eccentric and occasionally restless day-to-day existence. But when a journalist chances upon the mystery of Stevie's death and begins to dig into it, Mary Byrd suddenly finds herself on a reluctant journey back to her childhood home in Virginia.
