Ebby gets the urge to examine her life when her fiancé leaves her right before their wedding. Blaming her trauma for his apprehensions, Ebby is forced to reconcile her brother’s murder, the loss of a family heirloom, and live with her grief. 
Though I didn’t know enjoyed this novel as much as I enjoyed Wilkerson’s “Black Cake”, I thought this book was timely, and moving. It has great characters and a satisfying ending.
