Even though he's a popular author with a huge following and plenty of security, former Houston prosecutor Penn Cage is a haunted man.
Home is Natchez, Mississippi.
Home is where his father, sixty-six year old Dr. Tom Cage, is still practicing down home medicine, complete with house calls and no HMO's. My parents started life with nothing, and in a single generation, though hard work and sacrifice, lived what was once unapologetically called the American Dream. Home is where his mother longs to help her son and her granddaughter heal. She could take tea with royalty and commit no faux pas, yet just as easily twist the head off a banty hen, boil the bristles off a hog, or kill an angry copperhead. Home is where Cage and Annie can find peace and recover from their loss.
