A Haunting Past

The story unfolds in the vibrant city of Chicago, where a young woman named Cara discovers a startling truth that sends shockwaves through her family.

As she delves into the enigmatic letters left by her late grandmother, Cara uncovers a dark chapter in her family's past. Henrietta, her revered great-grandmother, was a free woman of color who faced unimaginable hardships and secrets that had been buried for decades.

Through vivid flashbacks, we witness Henrietta's extraordinary resilience and determination as she navigates the treacherous waters of slavery and post-Civil War America. Her story paints a poignant portrait of the struggles and triumphs of a woman who refused to be defined by her circumstances.

Cary masterfully weaves together the threads of past and present, creating a poignant and resonant narrative that explores the intergenerational impacts of history and family secrets.
