Aunt Lutie’s Shadow is a haunting and redemptive tale about the prisons we build for ourselves, the scars that define us, and the fierce, sacred power of forgiveness. For fans of: Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood , Fried Green Tomatoes , and The Secret Life of Bees . - A story of resilience: Witness three distinct women grapple with the legacy of trauma and the definition of sacrifice. Three sisters. One man they all loved. And a family secret buried in a jar of honey. For years, Cora Beth Prentiss has played the role of the dutiful survivor. Stuck in the stagnation of Meridian, she has sacrificed her own dreams to care for her fragile, angelic sister, Ruth, who battles Multiple Sclerosis. They live in the shadow of the family’s Victorian home and the crumbling "Honey House" in the backyard—the site of a tragedy that claimed their mother and their larger-than-life Aunt Lutie years ago. But the silence of the Prentiss house is about to shatter. When the erratic and vibrant Tassie returns home from New York, she brings a whirlwind of energy that forces the sisters to confront the past they’ve desperately tried to bury. But Tassie isn't the only ghost returning to Meridian. Larry Souter—the golden boy who once captured the hearts of all three sisters is coming back to claim Ruth, igniting a storm of old jealousies, suppressed passions, and long-held secrets. As Cora struggles to keep her family together, she finds herself fighting a war on two fronts. By day, she battles Smith Lewis, a charismatic and infuriating local politician hellbent on bringing a toxic waste dump to their dying town. By night, she navigates the shifting currents of sisterhood, where love and resentment bleed together. As the summer heat intensifies, the fragile peace of the Prentiss home begins to crack. Tassie is hiding a devastating secret about the day Aunt Lutie died, and as the truth bubbles to the surface, it threatens to consume them all in a blaze of fire and grief.
