The Missing Groom

By Donna M Niemi

Some names were never meant to be erased.

When Henrietta "Hetty" Lords agrees to help sort through the contents of a quiet New Orleans estate, she expects the usual-forgotten keepsakes, scattered records, the remnants of lives neatly packed away.

What she finds instead is a photograph.

A bride, poised and composed.

And beside her... a groom whose face has been deliberately removed.

Drawn into a story that refuses to stay buried, Hetty begins to follow the fragments left behind-letters, records, and whispers of a man who once stood in that space, and the family that made sure he would not be remembered.

But the deeper she looks, the clearer it becomes:

This was no accident.

And some truths were never meant to be found.

In a city where history lingers just beneath the surface, Hetty must decide whether uncovering the past is worth disturbing what was so carefully hidden.

Because once a name is restored...

It cannot be erased again.
