In this fascinating book, Tammy Cohen tells the remarkable true story of the man who came back from the dead, the wife who concealed his existence from the world and the web of deceit that finally ensnared them both.

Young Luke Dawson grows up on Mimosa, the family plantation, and forms a close bond to his adoring mother Addie and brother Gideon.

Luke finds himself entrenched in the War between the States, all the while with one true life mission to one day locate his uncle Adam Dawson, who can put an end to the madness the secret held.
