Headless dolls, horse races, and arson-the tools of passion.It’s 1899, and Caroline Corbett is ready for the twentieth century. She’s excited to find work and meet new people-but gets more than expected when a rough-hewn Lowcountry farmer and a small-town doctor both engage her affections.The broad-shouldered, genial farmer is clear about his desires, and he’s there for her. The doctor is sophisticated, educated, and obviously the right choice-but sees no reason to dwell on certain realities.In trying to decide between them, Caroline fails to consider the girl Jessie. A young sociopath bent on her own way, Jessie Bell sees very good reasons to dredge up unpleasant realities-and to create new ones. Before long, this South Carolina landscape is riddled with the detritus of her intense jealousies, which have set astonishing and horrifying events into motion.*IndieBRAG medallion recipient.*Shelf Unbound finalist for 2021 Best Indie Book Award.*Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2021 finalist in the category of Historical Fiction.*American Fiction Awards 2021 finalist in the category of Family Saga.*Shortlisted for the 2021 Goethe Award by Chanticleer International.*Book Excellence Awards 2022 finalist in the Historical category.*National Indie Excellence Awards 16th Annual finalist in the category of Regional Fiction: Southeast.*Historical Fiction Company 2022 HFC ’Highly Recommended’ Award.*Literary Titan Gold Book Award, July 2022*Chanticleer International’s 2023 Best Series Award finalist (as part of The Silk Trilogy).
