When Candice finds a letter in an old attic in Lambert, South Carolina, she isn't sure she should read it. It's addressed to her grandmother, who left the town in shame. But the letter describes a young woman. An injustice that happened decades ago. A mystery enfolding its writer. And the fortune that awaits the person who solves the puzzle.

So with the help of Brandon, the quiet boy across the street, she begins to decipher the clues. The challenge will lead them deep into Lambert's history, full of ugly deeds, forgotten heroes, and one great love; and deeper into their own families, with their own unspoken secrets. Can they find the fortune and fulfill the letter's promise before the answers slip into the past yet again?

Varian Johnson couldn't decide whether he wanted to be an engineer or a writer when he was younger, so he did both. In March 2006, his first novel, A Red Polka Dot In A World Full of Plaid, was named to the Essence Magazine bestseller list. He and his wife live in Austin, Texas, with their two cocker spaniels.
