A runaway heiress, never found. Just over a century later, an adoptee searching for family. What long-buried secret links Rachel Connolly and Mary Anne Schlegel, that someone is willing to kill for?

"Pirrone cleverly shifts between Mary Anne's tale and Rachel's search, creating a page-turner for fans of both history and mystery." —Kirkus Reviews

"Partly set in a mysterious old house in the bleak far north as winter closes in and told from multiple points of view, both past and present, this fast-paced, compelling story resolves both mysteries and ends on a hopeful note." —Booklist
