Cassie Brighton, devastated by the death of her husband, flees to a remote homestead in the rugged Texas Hill Country. Alone in a ramshackle farmhouse steeped in family secrets, Cassie wages a battle of mind and heart as she struggles to overcome the sorrows of her past, begin anew, and confront the possibility of finding love again. Hidden Shadows is a story of healing, of connection: to the land, to our ancestors, to others, to ourselves - and to the redemptive power of love. What people are saying:"Hidden Shadows is a wonderful novel of a woman''s journey of self-discovery and search for purpose. The characters will win your heart (and sometimes break it) in this beautifully written and satisfying story of loss and renewal." ~ Sandra Worth, Award-winning author of The King''s Daughter: A Novel of the First Tudor Queen."...In Hidden Shadows, Linda Lucretia Shuler has written a poignant novel that explores the complex and ever-shifting definitions of art, community, and love. The result is a story that is as vivid and melodious as the paintings and music of Cassie''s new Hill Country home." ~ Diana Lopez, Award-winning author of Confetti Girl
