When Verity returns to rural Pennsylvania in 1867 for an arranged marriage, she's met with old family secrets, unexpected suitors, and plenty of hostility. Most upsetting, however, is the discovery that her long-deceased mother was buried in unhallowed ground in a "caged grave." As vigorous, intelligent Verity investigates the mysterious burial, she unearths old crimes and new plots. A fresh, compelling history-imbued story.
