Description
Writer Mercer Mann becomes engaged to her partner Thomas on the beach, with the ceremony conducted by Bruce Cable, the well-known owner of Bay Books. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer, who is looking for a subject for her next novel, about an incredible story involving a narrow strip of barrier island off Florida's northern coast. Three hundred years ago, it was settled by freed slaves, whose descendants lived there until 1955, when the last of them was forced to leave. That woman, now elderly, is Lovely Jackson, who deeply loves her birthplace and its remarkable history. A ruthless development giant now wants the land for a resort and casino, but Lovely knows the island rightfully belongs to her. Together, Mercer and Lovely take on the powerful corporation, its lawyers, lobbyists and influential politicians. Lovely also knows something that could ruin the developers' plans: the island is cursed. For almost a century it has remained uninhabited for deeply justified and deeply disturbing reasons.
