Shadow From the Past set in today's time
​Part of the Southern Dreams Series

Coming soon

Shadow From the Past is a mysterious love story set in modern times. Fate reunites a young woman from New York and her Southern admirer, who died heroically during the Civil War.

An old, charming Southern plantation, Bella Oak, in South Carolina, the home of Jessie and Charlie Ledford, drew a young artist, Becca, into its world when she was sixteen. Now ten years later, Becca ponders many secrets from that summer so long ago, which she had managed to keep from Jordan, her fiancé. She would sit daydreaming, and he believed it was because she was an artist, but unbeknownst to him, she was thinking of a young Southern boy, Benjamin Bellamead, who had stolen her heart years ago.

She wonders what the young boy, now a man, would be like. She learns that Bella Oak Plantation is for sale, and she has to see the old plantation once more before it is sold. She plans her trip to South Carolina, but to her surprise, Jordon insists on driving down with her. She asks about Benjamin, astoundingly learning that he died in the Civil War and that the only other Benjamin is their grandson, Benjamin Jack, or BJ, but he wasn’t at Bella Oak the summer she visited.

The shocking facts she learns bewilder her, but she still did not share her secret with Jordan. She understands that Benjamin, the young boy she fell in love with, was from another time. The only reason she had come back to Bella Oak was to find an old love, but instead, she finds a tangled web of hidden secrets she has to unravel.
