Following the murder of their childhood friend, Grace Ann, Ellott -- a single, 40-something librarian -- and her roommate, Rosie -- a divorced mother of three -- confront the effects of her death and the flux of their own lives. Set in North Alabama and Birmingham, the richly detailed mystery unfolds a story of obsession, past loyalties, love, murder and saving grace. Old Time Music, hits from the '60s, and the spirit of Elvis provide a harmonious backdrop.

Jane Mitchell lives and works in Birmingham, Alabama, where she is pursuing a Master's degree in Library and Information Service. She has two daughters, Mimi, aged 22, and Sally, aged 17, and one grandson, Blair Johnson.
