What secrets are hiding behind the imposing gates of Indigo House?
Oregonian Julia Van Wyck lives in her famous father's shadow and struggles with a stagnant career. When she loses her parents in a car crash, her father's literary agent tells her that Charles Van Wyck may have left his last, greatest manuscript with an estranged family he never talked about in South Carolina. Realizing how little she knew about his life, Julia heads to Charleston, thinking the manuscript might help heal the hole in her heart.
Arriving in the beautiful coastal town of Charleston, South Carolina, Julia soon discovers her father left behind a lot more than a memoir about an old, crumbling family plantation. A whole host of aunts, uncles, and cousins she's never heard of and an inheritance she never expected pull her deeper into the family's ancient history of betrayal. When she finds the manuscript, and how much her father kept from her, she despairs about ever filling that hole in her heart, while chasing leads that keep leaving her with more questions than answers.
Will those questions unravel the family she's only just found?
