The silver and china is still dented and cracked from Yankee invaders. And the houses have names....and memories. Nora Bondurant is running awayfrom her husbands death, from his secrets, and from the ghosts that dog her every step. When she receives a telegram informing her that she has an inheritance, Nora suddenly has somewhere to run to: a house named Avoca in Natchez, Mississippi. Now, shes learning that the lure of Natchez runs deep, and that, along with Avoca, shes inherited a mystery. Noras aunt Amalia Bondurant was killed in an apparent murder/suicide, and the locals are saying nothing more. As Nora becomes more and more enmeshed in the community and in her familys history, she learns surprising things about the life and death of her aunt: kinship isnt always what it seems, loyalty can be as fierce as blood relations, and every day we are given new mercies to heal the pain of loss and love. 3102274 2005 New Mercies total:296|5:46|4:111|3:108|2:29|1:2| 296 1058 416 62 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 20:03:34 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 20:07:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Nov 21 18:49:17 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 18:49:30 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 04 08:47:17 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 04 08:50:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 02 12:40:13 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 12:46:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 31 12:32:13 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 09:18:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jun 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 10:24:53 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 11:36:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 06 09:12:37 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 22:28:44 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 19 03:36:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 03:39:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 19:25:53 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 09:40:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 17:24:41 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 17:27:35 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 09:10:19 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 09:10:19 -0700 2009 3 0 true false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 20 06:40:38 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 06:47:52 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 21:01:34 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 21:03:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 08:49:41 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 17:00:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 29 14:36:42 -0800 2007 Tue Jan 01 14:29:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Dec 01 11:56:14 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 19 18:04:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 21:15:55 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 17:13:31 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 24 15:06:07 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 15:08:13 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 11:06:43 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 11:07:24 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 15 17:34:44 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 17:35:25 -0700 2009 anything by Sandra Dallas is good]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=423708
