Family Tree
A phone call that changes everything.
Grace's mother warned her never to return to Bleeding Hearts Valley. But when the call finally comes, years too late and filled with more silence than answers, Grace has no choice. In no time, she's packed a bag and is heading back to the place she swore she'd forget — a town steeped in secrets, where the past never truly stays buried.
Bleeding Hearts Valley hasn't changed. Or maybe it has — and Grace is the one who no longer belongs.
As she sorts through her mother's belongings, Grace uncovers a hidden collection of letters and journals — aged pages filled with half-truths, cryptic warnings, and feelings she's long since buried. She should stop digging and leave the past where it belongs. This secret was never meant to surface.
With every answer comes a darker question, and it's too late to stop now. What really happened all those years ago? And will Grace be able to live with what she's uncovered, even if it means becoming part of the secret herself?
For fans of slow-burn emotional thrillers.
One Town. Many Crimes.
Every book in Bleeding Hearts Valley stands alone — and every book is set in the same midwestern neighborhood, where the secrets never quite stay buried.
