Overview

A debut novel from an exciting new voice in women's fiction... Frannie Aldren Broussard has finally earned a welcome freedom. The children are grown and out of the house, and Frannie eagerly looks forward to pursuing her love of painting without family duties to distract her. Until she receives news that her deeply private father has committed suicide. She heads to Denver to arrange his burial-and to begin an unexpected journey of revelation and healing.

Tracking the path of her father's life takes her from his birthplace deep in the foothills of Tennessee to her beloved Louisiana swamplands and finally to the high desert country of the Rocky Mountains. Along the way, she uncovers some startling truths about the man she never really knew, and discovers the rich potential that has always existed in her own life...
