Lacey Elliot seems to have
everything--looks, talent,
and a thriving business--but there has always been
a great deal missing from
her life. For the past
years, her mother
staunchly refused to
discuss Lacey's absent father
or the fact that the
women seem to be totally
alone in the world without
any relatives.
While her mother is
recovering from a debilitating
illness, a letter arrives
from a woman claiming
to be Lacey's great-aunt.
Driven by a need to discover
what her mother has
feared all her life, Lacey
sets off for the town
of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia,
a quiet community
with a tumultuous past.
Here she hopes to discover
who she really is and why her past has been shrouded
in mystery for so long.
Indeed, the letter sets in
motion events that cannot
be stopped, for Lacey
quickly learns the whereabouts
of her mother's family, that her
father was killed when she was
young, and that her aunt believes
his killer has returned
to walk among them once
more.
Vividly imagined and
unforgettably compelling,
Daughter of the Stars is a
riveting novel of family
bonds and the crimes
committed for love.
