Oak House Andrea Palmer Woodward

Carys Owen, a young widow with two children, inherits an antebellum plantation home, Oak House, when her husband dies in mysterious circumstances. The house harbors secrets, while the plantation cemetery harbors the spirits of the dead. The house has stood for nearly two centuries; it's family, black and white, has trod the path of history in the Old South. To find the truth about her husband's death, and a recent murder that casts suspicion on him, Carys searches through old journals, unraveling the threads of history that have been carried, entangled, into the current day. For her children, she seeks a way to reconcile the dark and bright of their father's legacy in a way that helps them carry it forward into the future.
