But one summer, a tragedy occurs. Their tyrannical cousin Henry disappears.
Research undertaken by the police do not give anything.
All assumptions are discussed: kidnapping, murder, etc ...

Twenty years later, Meredith's grandmother dies and so are her two young daughters Erica and Beth who inherit Storton Manor, provided ... to live there!
Beth, who sank into depression since the tragedy of the death of his cousin, has only one idea: to flee this place that reminds him of bad memories.

But his sister Erica decides to delve into the past and began to sort through his grandmother Meredith. It falls on a photo of Caroline's mother, Meredith holding a small boy in his arms. But Meredith has never had a brother. So who was this little boy? And above all, what happened to it?

This poignant story of a family secret that runs over several generations, makes us travel in the great American West with its pioneers and its Indian and ended in England.

I particularly liked the chapters that take place in the American West.
The descriptions are beautiful. The colorful characters ...
It is not bored for a moment in the company of this family where some characters are particularly endearing and vulnerable, others downright hateful. I admit I turned the pages of this family saga eagerly ...

The plot is worthy of a detective novel.
The construction is subtle
The delicate writing.
I can only advise you to read it with as much passion and addiction than me!
