From the back of the book: "Susan Prentice has come home to Virginia's eastern shores to find her past. Twenty-five years ago, her mother fell to her death down the steps of the family's ancestral home. Susan has little memory of that accident, or of her maternal grandmother, Alex Montoro, a proud, intense, aging doyenne of the ballet.

Together Alex and Susan must pry open the locked doors of the past, where burning assions, dark secrets, and hidden danger must be challenged to set the present free..."

Came to me in the return of my original Cozy Mystery Bookbox which took 10 months from coast to coast to coast!
