Hour of Dreams - Paperback

by Kat Le Veque (Author)

FROM A USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, a vibrant, intense story of good and evil, of a doomed love affair, and of the lengths a family will go to in order to protect - and discover - the harrowing truth.

1933 Pea Ridge, Mississippi - A black man is allegedly murdered for the unspeakable crime of loving a white woman. Six months after his death, a mixed-race baby is born but the child vanishes. The most feared family in town is involved in these two incidents, but they are mysteries no one will speak of. To mention such things can only bring trouble, or worse...

Present Day - Beau Meade, former CIA agent and now county sheriff, is back to civilian life after years of serving his country in the most dangerous way possible. On a chance meeting with Lucy Bondurant, daughter of an old family nemesis, Beau finds himself swept up in a mystery that Lucy's family hoped would stay buried forever. As they race against time to put the pieces of the puzzle together, Beau and Lucy come face to face with a love story as beautiful and as enduring as time itself.

HOUR OF DREAMS is all things bittersweet, tragic, and triumphant.
