"Brew up a pitcher of sweet tea and settle into your most comfortable chair. You won't want to put T. M. Brown's latest book down... Testament, An Unexpected Return offers more wrinkles than linen pants on a hot summer day." -- Linda Pifer, acclaimed author of Ohio Girl and Windows trilogy
The testament of a man lies not in the magnitude of possessions and property left to his heirs, but the reach of his legacy long after his death. -- Theo Phillips
In this sequel to Sanctuary, A Legacy of Memories, Theo and Liddy are finally sinking deep roots into their new hometown of Shiloh. Friendships are blossoming as Liddy ponders an offer to become the new art teacher at Shiloh High while Theo sends off his manuscript for Jessie's Story to be published. Life appears to be settling down, but ominous shadows from the town's past herald more tragedy lie ahead in little old Shiloh. More than Theo's reputation is at stake this time as he gets drawn into more Archer family drama after Dixie, Harold's estranged wife, arrives in town after abandoning her family twenty years ago. Though Dixie's mysterious arrival appears to be good for Harold's ailing health, others in town become unsettled by the events that unfold as Dixie's desperate scheming come to light.
T. M. Brown once again captures the flavor of a small Southern town and realistically portrays the suspense and drama when the town's past surfaces to protect its legacy.
