The Sound of Glass
Karen White
(Author)
Description
The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels explores a Southern family's buried history, which will change the life of the woman who unearths it, secret by shattering secret. Two years after the death of her husband, Merritt Heyward receives unexpected news--Cal's family home in Beaufort, South Carolina, bequeathed by his reclusive grandmother, now belongs to Merritt. In Beaufort, the secrets of Cal's unspoken-of past reside among the pluff mud and jasmine of the ancestral Heyward home on the Bluff. This unknown legacy, now Merritt's, will change and define her as she navigates her new life--a life complicated by the arrival of her too young stepmother and ten-year-old half brother. Soon, in this house of strangers, Merritt is forced into unraveling the Heyward family past as she faces her own fears and finds the healing she needs in the salt air of the Lowcountry.

It has a pace, a beat, a cadence that is all its own."--The Huffington Post "White's dizzying carousel of a plot keeps those pages turning, so much so that the book can [be]--and should be--finished in one afternoon, interrupted only by a glass of sweet iced tea."--Oprah.com "White captures the true essence of Charleston by intertwining the sights and smells of the historic town with an enchanting story filled with ghostly spirits, love, and forgiveness...a once-in-a-lifetime series."--Fresh Fiction "This is storytelling of the highest order: the kind of book that leaves you both deeply satisfied and aching for more."--Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Little Thing"Readers will find White's prose an uplifting experience as she is a truly gifted storyteller."--Las Vegas Review-Journal
