After a brief courtship, Vicky Wickersham becomes the wife— in name only— of Michael Eden and relocates to the elegant yet unsettling Eden plantation in Louisiana. Within the old mansion’s walls Vicky uncovers family secrets tied to the enslaved people whose past continues to haunt the plantation. As the hidden truths surface, the healthy equilibrium of the family fractures, exposing fragile relationships and a complex history. Despite the turmoil, Vicky finds herself drawn to Michael and cannot let the Edens drive her away.
Little is known beyond the plantation setting, Vicky’s marriage to Michael, and the presence of concealed histories involving the Edens and their slaves, which threaten to undermine the family’s reputation.
