By Melissa Murray.
A romantic drama about two people who meet on a genealogy course while researching the background to their family history.
Both are emotionally scarred by the past, and when they investigate their family backgrounds they discover that there is a curious link between their ancestors as well. Will this have a beneficial or a negative effect on their own relationship?
Love seems set to bloom when divorced Adam and eccentric Ali meet by chance at a genealogy class. Until, that is, they discover that their respective families are linked by a long-buried murder. The trouble is, the crime itself proves a contentious issue: was it the evidence Adam's ancestor gave at the trial that caused Ali's forebear to be hanged for killing a servant girl? Soon, the two lovers are fretting about how accountable they are for their family histories, with the waters muddied by Adam's ex-wife and a nosy ex-cop theorising on whose relation will turn out to be a cold-blooded killer. The mystery may come to an abrupt end in this romantic drama by Melissa Murray, but its message remains clear: in order to live for the future, you have to let go of the past.
