About this book

Biographer Ellie Connor travels to Gideon, Texas, to research blues singer Mabel Beauvais, who disappeared over forty years ago on the brink of fame. The town also holds answers to Ellie's personal mysteries: the truth about her mother, who died young, and her father, whom she never knew. Local Laurence "Blue" Reynard offers his help in Ellie's search. Charismatic and charming, he draws her in despite being emotionally damaged by loss. As Ellie investigates both Mabel's disappearance and her own family history, Blue accompanies her on the journey. Ellie must decide whether to follow her instincts and leave town, or follow her heart. This novel explores themes of loss, love, family, and healing. This edition includes editorial revisions.
