Pursued as a Union spy inside Confederate territory, Corrie's desperate attempt to escape on horseback is cut short by the sound of gunfire and the excruciating pain in her back from a bullet. Mercifully, the fear and pain are quickly overtaken by darkness as the reins slip through her fingers. When Corrie slowly awakens from weeks of unconsciousness, the first face she sees belongs to Christopher Braxton, the young man who found her nearly dead on the roadside and carried her to safety. As she is nursed back to health, Corrie finds that the physical damage to her body is not nearly as difficult to treat as her lingering amnesia. Beginning with the single letter in her pocket, Corrie and Christopher struggle to piece together the limited clues to Corrie's past.
The Civil War is finally over, and it has been more than two years since Corrie Belle Hollister left her home and family in Miracle Springs, California, to travel across the country at President Lincoln's invitation. Her writing skills and reporting experience have made their own contribution to the Union's success, and now she is on her way home . . . back to the community where she grew to maturity, back to the family she loves. But Corrie is returning a different young woman than the one who left with her journal tucked into her suitcase and the dream of being a writer tucked into her heart. She feels restless as she tries to settle back into the pace of a small town, and the latest letter from Christopher only creates more questions. Perhaps the most relentless among them: Where will she find a home for her heart?

One fall night in 1941, in a small town down-river from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a foreman from a textile plant was killed. Daniel Sloan finds his youth is in disarray when his idealistic stepbrother, Aaron, is arrested for the clubbing. The only witness who could possibly shed light on what actually happened is his girl friend, Beverly. When she vanishes the Sloan family organizes a search for her whereabouts. Forty-plus years later the mysteries surrounding the killing and the witness’ disappearance are about to end. Daniel, now 56, and Beverly, revisit the characters, events, and horrors to unravel the realities that had haunted their lives throughout the years. The search for the truth, the search for the witness, and her cleverness in staying undercover, take both characters along separate circuitous paths, through numerous personal relationships and many frightening close calls, eventually coming together with long sought answers in a little used bookstore in Espanola, New Mexico.
