Description

In 1940, talented artist Anna Dale is commissioned to paint a mural for a small North Carolina town, but her arrival stirs suspicion, prejudice, and long-buried secrets. Nearly eighty years later, Morgan Christopher is given the daunting task of restoring Anna’s damaged masterpiece as part of a court-ordered rehabilitation program. As Morgan pieces together the mural—and the story behind it—she uncovers connections between the past and present that challenge everything she believes about the town and herself. Blending historical mystery, art, race, trauma, and redemption, this richly layered novel explores how hidden truths can shape generations.
