SUMMER IN THE SOUTH
by CATHY HOLTON
SYNOPSIS:
For Chicago writer Ava Dabrowski, fleeing her own troubled past, the chance to spend the summer writing a novel in quiet Woodburn, Tennessee seems a welcome reprieve. A guest of Will Fraser and his great-aunts, Fanny and Josephine Woodburn, members of an aristocratic, old-moneyed family, Ava soon finds herself surrounded by an eccentric cast of characters.
But the Woodburns are not who they seem to be. Gradually hearing rumors about the mysterious death of great-aunt Fanny’s first husband, Ava stumbles upon a decades-old family secret. With the help of Jake Woodburn, Will’s estranged cousin, Ava gradually puts aside her planned novel and begins instead to write the tragic history of the Woodburns, a family with more skeletons (and ghosts) in their closets than anyone can possibly imagine.As she writes the history of the Woodburns, Ava begins to put together the pieces of her own past, learning that a good story is always more dazzling, and ultimately less painful, than the truth.

No I would not want to know about family skeletons because there is a lot of responsibility that goes along with knowledge that has been kept 'hidden' for so long.

No I would not want to know.. I think that if we look too hard into places we should not look then we need to be ready for what we might find! It could be open up a whole can of worms.. life is just too short for that!
ReplyDeletechris-tea@hotmail.com
I think most skeletons are better left alone.
