Young widow Caroline Colley's grief is real and it haunts her in ways no person can grasp—her mind polluted by a painful history that's left her disarranged. Rather than face her troubles under the watchful eyes of Melroy's gossip mill, she looks for a fresh start.

What these people need is a change in scenery, a fresh start where no one knows their stories. Where they find themselves is on the road to Element Dale, Texas. But running away from your troubles is never the answer. For trouble follows sin as sure as fever follows a chill.

Trouble finds them in Elemdale.

If you stroll through the streets of the little town and pause a moment to take it all in—the people, their drama—it doesn't amount to much. It is what you cannot see that makes the town tick. For only in Elemdale are the dead given a place in which to linger. However, not all wish to stay. With the help of Elzi Dupre, maybe they won't have to.
