Old Sins, Long Shadows — Sharon Bernash Smith

It's one thing to suffer the consequences of one's own sin, but quite another to deal with the aftermath of someone else's past. Long shadows from Grace McFarlane's past threaten the peace that she and Shepard have established in the five years since their marriage. There never was a good time to reveal the truth to her young daughter, Bonnie, about her birth father, Jake Hudson. But when his mother, Sylvania, pleads with Grace for mercy, she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life. Calvin Stewart is a hard-working, devoted father and husband...except for one thing. For many years he's concealed a secret that will shake not only the foundation of his life, but Nettie's and their children's. When a shadow from his past steps in-one full of evil intent and deadly consequence-everything Calvin values will be threatened. 'Shadows have sounds, but they are not all the same. Shadows, cast by trees in summer heat are cool, like the water's song as it flows over stones in a river. But shadows from old sins carry a moaning voice...long, low, and very, very, sad.' -Winnowette. Book 2 in the acclaimed MacLeod Family Saga series. Don't miss Book 1, Like a Bird Wanders.
