A woman is forced to face the tragedies of the past when she's summoned back to her Colorado home in this novel from "a master of suspense " (Mary Higgins Clark).   An assistant editor at a Manhattan university press, Laurie Morgan forged a future in the best way she knew how. She buried her tragic past and her father's mysterious death so deeply it only returns in pieces of bad dreams. Then, out of the blue--and much to Laurie's surprise--she's invited to her childhood home in Colorado by her ailing, long-estranged grandmother, who banished Laurie and her mother twenty years ago and locked herself up in Morgan House along with every one of its secrets. Now, Laurie is being offered the key.   But once she arrives with her lover, Hillary, no one is eager to discuss the past--not her grandmother, the old woman's suspicious live-in lawyer, her violently hostile nurse, or an old childhood friend. Maybe it's for the best, though, because once Laurie discovers why she's been called home, it's already too late to run. For the hidden tragedies of twenty years ago didn't happen to Laurie. They happened because of Laurie. And now she must accept the terrible burden of her family legacy--and pay the price.   With this novel of past sins, family secrets, and betrayal, New York Times-bestselling author Phyllis A. Whitney proves once again that she "is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft" (Barbara Michaels).   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author's estate.    … (more)
