Return to Redemption Ridge (9780999069257)

Brucie Claymore left Redemption Ridge when she was thirteen, but she carried dark secrets with her. Now, after many years and life in Boston as the wife of Herschel Von Dieter and mother to Memory and Dale, unexpected hardship and tragedy force the family to return to Redemption Ridge, Mississippi, not for a visit, but permanently.Both Memory and Dale suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, but for different reasons. Dale's affliction is referred to as ''shellshock, '' a result of World War I and the devastating loss of life under his command. Memory's problem doesn't have a name, but childhood memories of being raped assault her mind as she rages against the change, although she has recently been widowed. But, perhaps, redemption awaits both brother and sister in Mississippi-as well as their mother who also must finally confront her darkest secret, another child as a result of being raped by the man she thought was a father-a child hellbent on revenge and claiming what she sees as her inheritance. Also, awaiting the Claymore descendants at Redemption Ridge-ghosts who need their souls to be set free. Can Memory and Dale succeed upon their return in helping Vernell and Captain Bruce Claymore, their true grandfather and supposed Confederate traitor, ''find their peace''
