When Bea first arrives in Pecan Valley she's accompanied by thunder and lightning, and she tells herself the storm will pass. She also tries to convince herself that she's taking an early retirement, looking for a quiet place to work on her quilts, putter around in her new garden. But returning to the place where the event happened thirty years ago sparks a longing to find out what took place after Bea left Pecan Valley. Although the clouds have now dissipated, another storm is hovering over her new home and when someone is murdered, she has second thoughts about moving to a small Texas town.
