She would've been named Shawnee LaTasha Pritchard, if only she had been born alive . . .
Ever since Marlee Jordan lost her baby during childbirth, she hasn't been the same. It isn't fair -- and it's impossible for her to move on knowing what could have been, what should have been.
When Marlee inherits an ancient genealogy book crafted before the Civil War, she thinks nothing of it. But as soon as she starts looking through its pages, strange things start to happen. She begins hearing noises, seeing things that cannot be. Her dreams fill with the dead relatives written about in the book's pages.
Desperate to be reunited with her daughter, Marlee writes in Shawnee. At first, she thinks nothing has happened -- that is, until she begins to feel the familiar gentle kicking inside of her.
Word about what the book can do travels fast. Marlee comes face to face with Stacey Combs, a broken woman mourning the loss of her twelve year old son. Though Marlee at first pities her, quickly she learns that there is a darker side to Stacey. A darker side that carries a secret that could threaten Marlee's family and take away Shawnee once more -- this time, forever.
