註釋

On the outskirts of Littleton, Mississippi, a black fourteen-year-old they call Peachy Girl is brutally murdered. Hundreds of miles away, attorney Sidney Adamson McCalastar is about to return to Littleton, where she was born the illegitimate daughter of a rich white man and his beautiful black mistress. Now, a girl's doomed life and Sidney's painful past are coming together. For Sidney is being forced to defend Peachy Girl's accused killer -- who happens to be the half brother she never knew.Everything Sidney has earned, everything she thought she knew about herself, is threatened by a case steeped in the sins of the past and the power of illicit passion. With a charismatic black sheriff bent on crucifying her client, with the specter of her father's power and her mother's shame hanging over the case, Sidney isn't just fighting for justice: she's fighting for her identity in a town where secrets have become a way of life...and death.
