In a powerful and poignant novel, an artist unravels her mysterious family history and its generations of women who depended on each other to survive. Tig Costello has arrived in Darren, Kentucky, commissioned to paint a portrait honoring her grandfather Benjamin. His contributions to the rural Appalachian town and his unimpeachable war service have made him a local hero. But to Tig, he's a relative stranger. To find out more about him, Tig wants to talk to the person who knew her grandfather best: Eloise Price, the woman who murdered him fifty years ago. Still confined to a state institution, Eloise has a lifetime of stories to tell. She agrees to share them all--about herself, about Tig's enigmatic grandmother, and about the other brave and desperate women who passed through Benjamin's orbit. Most revealing of all is the truth about Whitmore Halls, the mansion on the hill that was home to triage, rescue, death, and one inevitable day that changed Eloise's life forever. As Tig begins to piece together the puzzle of her mysterious family tree, it sends her spiraling toward a confrontation with her own painful past--and a reconciliation with all its heartrending secrets.

This was my choice for Amazon First Reads this month.

A woman is asked to paint a portrait of her long dead grandfather and learns that he wasn't the hero people thought he was.

Nothing spectacular.

Ready for the next read!

This book really surprised me, I didn‘t expect it to be so gripping and deep. A beautiful portrayal of women‘s fight for survive, how we band together and help each other through

Gripping! Dark and at times spooky, this book is an homage to strong women who survive in harsh even brutal environments and go on to thrive. Tig goes to Darren in Kentucky to paint a portrait of the murdered grandfather she never met. Instead she learns the intimate details of his life.
