Sucessful author Molly Hunt, the adopted daughter of Long Island parents, is stunned when a handsome man she meets in her publisher's office makes a startling declaration: he is about to marry her twin sister. Molly soon discovers she is the long-lost child of the wealthy Mountfort family of Charleston, SOuth Carolina. Eager to solve the puzzle of her birth, Molly begins a fateful journey south.
At the historic family plantation, she meets her beautiful and fragile twin, Amelia, their reclusive mother, and a cast of intriguing yet disturbing characters who both question her identity, and in their way, confirm it. For her arrival has set into motion a series of strange and frightening events. In the intoxicating magnolia scented world of her original family, haunting memories of an unsolved murder threaten the family's very existance as well as her own.
