Beside the Hollow Oak

By Veronica Mixon

An old tree. A buried memory. And a clue that was never meant to surface.
When a powerful storm uproots a centuries-old oak on the edge of Forsyth Park, it reveals more than twisted roots--beneath the hollow trunk lies a rusted tin box, a faded photograph, and a name that stops Emma Lynn Whitmore cold.
Drawn into a mystery tied to one of Savannah's oldest families, Emma Lynn, Margaret, and Graham begin to unravel a trail of secrets stretching back nearly seventy years--secrets that someone has worked very hard to keep hidden. But as they dig deeper, they discover that the past isn't done reaching into the present... and some truths were buried for a reason.
With time running out and someone determined to keep the past silent, the trio must decide how far they're willing to go to bring justice to light--even if it means shaking the roots of Savannah itself.
Rich in Southern atmosphere and driven by unforgettable friendship, Beside the Hollow Oak is a mystery that proves some stories refuse to stay buried.
