Book Synopsis
A woman investigates a friend's long-ago murder in a haunting and hopeful novel about the weight of secrets and regrets by the bestselling author of The Wild Road Home and A Light in the Forest. At Sunny Pines Retirement Community, where the Sixty-Two and Better! share their golden years, secrets abound. Some scandalous, some haunting, and some dangerous. For Birdie Allen, a retired business owner and grandmother, her secret is the only thing she's got left. Getting old isn't the hardest part about life. It's the memories from more than fifty years ago of the death of her unrequited love. And Birdie's abandoned quest to root out the killer. With retirement comes a lot of time to revisit old ghosts, so when Birdie ties together a string of recent murders, and a woman disappears, she's drawn into the same chase she gave up decades earlier. But this time she has the help of an eccentric community of eager new friends. And they're not alone. Restless souls are watching, including Birdie's lost love, and they sense the danger that lies ahead. They're not leaving Birdie's side until she finishes what she set out to do. But will Birdie's pursuit of a killer finally free her of regrets and allow her to embrace the beauty of the life she's created?
