On Sundays She Picked Flowers

Judith Rice escapes her abusive mother without knowing where she will go. In southern Georgia, a decaying house and its unsettled spirits offer an unlikely place to begin again. Over thirteen years, Jude learns to live with the land's violent history and develops a life as a healer. That hard-earned stability shifts when a beautiful, enigmatic woman appears at her door. Desire draws Jude toward the stranger, while unfamiliar urges and returning memories make that attraction increasingly frightening. This Southern Gothic novel follows a woman confronting the parts of her inheritance that distance alone could not erase, in a place where the dead and the living make equally forceful demands.
