New mercies / Sandra Dallas.
An unexpected inheritance comes with family secrets, a crumbling plantation, and emotional solace for heiress Nora Bondurant, who arrives in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1933, to settle her heretofore-unknown aunt's estate. The feisty, practical Denverite is alternately aghast and charmed with the thoroughly quirky southern community as townsfolk hint politely at the murder-suicide of Aunt Amalia (known as the "goat lady") and the neighboring plantation owner, a spurned beau. To escape a painful divorce, Nora investigates her newfound family's history and learns some unpleasant home truths, but the whole truth lies with the family's freed slaves, Aunt Polly and Ezra, who won't say a word against their beloved former mistress.
