I read this book and will just add a couple of comments.
Spoilers Abound.

It is OK. I read it.
I don't know if the ghosts acted consistently. To me it seemed a little random.
I will not keep reading this series because I choose not to read books with historical content focused on enslavers and the history of the enslavers' war against the United States. If anybody was going to be haunting those beautiful old houses....
(and no I am not suggesting anything about the plot or the author, other than who are the characters and what is the story.)

I found it difficult to sympathize with the main character who somehow doesn't know her own beauty, and can't say No to a man who is pretty questionable. Maybe in her world decent honorable men call other men's ethics into question only out of jealousy but I think in the real world a rational person would have listened.

And...I don't know how long it will take to get over the sad experience of discovering that neither author nor editors were aware that the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, Minnesota.

Another WONDERFUL Karen White book. We just moved nearby Georgetown SC so this was particularly enjoyable. Just love how I feel reading one of her books.

The story was good, it did take a while to unfold but the underlying story of finding your voice and shedding fears was wonderful.

Trabajando en una casa de subastas en Nueva York , Julie Holt conoce a una artista en apuros y madre soltera que le recuerda mucho a su hermana menor desaparecida. Monica Guidry pinta un vívido cuadro de su familia sureña a través de historias, pero nunca dice por qué ni cómo perdió el contacto con ellos. Y tiene otro secreto: una afección cardíaca que pronto acabará con su vida.

Sintiendo como si hubiera perdido a su hermana por segunda vez, Julie hereda de Mónica un retrato antiguo, así como la custodia de su hijo pequeño. Llevándolo a Biloxi, Mississippi, para conocer a la familia que nunca conoció, Julie descubre su propia conexión. El retrato, de un antiguo pariente de Guidry, fue realizado por su bisabuelo y revela una sorprendente historia familiar....… (more)
