"This is my second Karen White book - I really like her stories. This was a good story! A little "far-fetched" (not a spoiler) but becomes believable with Karen's way of writing. It makes you wonder deeply about life, possibilities, going with your gut-feeling, relationships! And I love the sights and sounds of the islands of Georgia and South Carolina! Makes me what to go there!!"

“Fans of White will not be disappointed…The characters are empathetic and well realized, making their stories relatable. The history brought into play is also fascinating.”
— RT Book Reviews“White entwines historical fact and research seamlessly through the lives of these strong and intriguing women.”
— Library Journal“White skillfully juggles the deceptions that nurture the novel’s enigmas, until the surprising truth emerges.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Love all books written by Karen White! I read these days simply for the pleasure, but I can't get away from Southern Historical, fiction and non-fiction. Love how she meshes small amount of paranormal, southern style with great stories and great settings. "
— Tonya, 2/16/2014" Good Book. One part contemporary, one part historical and a third part paranormal. Ms. White does it again. Her desciptions and writing style make you feel as if you are part of the book. I was hooked from the beginning and know that this is another hit for Ms. White. "
— Pernette, 2/15/2014" Loved the ending - amazing story! "
— Sue, 2/14/2014" Nicely written, but not my cup of tea. "
— Beth, 2/14/2014" So far, I can't put this book down!!!! "
— Debra, 2/5/2014" Another winner from Karen White. Her writing is so beautiful! I was riveted to this story, and stayed up late to figure out how all the loose ends tied up. "
— Lizz, 1/24/2014" I love that this book is written about St. Simons Island. I recognized most of the places Karen White wrote about. However, I knew where the book was going and where it would end. The only surprise I had was the last page. "
— Ginger, 1/16/2014" I really liked this. I didn't figure out the ending at all. I was surprised. It was one of the books that once I started it, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. "
— Dana, 1/15/2014" I didn't like the story at first, but I like White's writing. I plowed a head and I am so glad I did. It ended up to be a good story. "
— Shirl, 12/30/2013" Another superb gothic romance from Karen White. This one is set on Georgia's beautiful St. Simons Island. Review will be posted June 9 at The Romance Dish. "
— Janga, 12/21/2013" Predictable. I knew the plot at page 50. "
— Anastasia, 12/11/2013" Told from three points of view, this is the story of the circle of life. Beginning with Pamela in 1804 and continuing with Ava and Gloria in 2011, a family is connected through tragic events but most of all love. "
— Debbie, 12/1/2013" Such a good story.. a little bit suspense, a little bit mystery. I liked that Karen White told the story from two view points, which was a good way to bring the whole plot together. Didn't want to put the book down. "
— Marie, 10/4/2013" Overall I liked the story, however, there was some suggestion to reincarnation which I did not care for. "
— Janet, 8/28/2013" Great book! Kept me guessing almost to the end! "
— Reeca, 8/27/2013" 3 1/2 stars. Reminded me of a gothic-type story a la much over dramatic foreshadowing. I liked the story, just thought it was a little slow and the characters could have been a little more detailed. "
— Katherine, 8/13/2013" I found this book kind of slow and ended up skipping to the end. "
— Catherine, 8/2/2013" Karen White is a favorite author and this book didn't disappoint. Vivid descriptions. Story keeps you guessing. Just when I thought I had it figured out, story took another twist. "
— Madelene, 5/31/2013" I really enjoy books like these: it's set in the South, it's got a little bit of mystery, a little bit of romance, and a little bit of mysticism thrown in. If you are a fan of Susannah Kearsley, you would like this book. "
— Rebecca, 4/26/2013" This started out a bit slow, but I was sucked in quickly. Twists and turns kept me reading! "
— Gretchen, 12/22/2012" I am really hooked on Karen White books and this did not disappoint. I like a little drama with historical mystery thrown in. Not overly romantic and I liked the suspense of everyone having something to hide. "
— Dana, 12/19/2012" Not may favorite one of this author's books. I finished the previous one about a month ago, and liked that one so much better. This has a lot of mystical qualities, but it didn't seem as southern (except that it is set in the South.) Too much of a change from her normal style for me. "
