Since finding the first journal in the Cherokee hideaway, Raleigh Walker seems to have found more questions than answers. Three years have passed with much having changed in his and Jenny's lives, but most of the mystery is still unsolved. Jenny's grandmother tells them of hideaway that was lost long ago but was reformed on the family's farm. It still exists today as a guarded family secret-a hidden vault. The cellar vault contains more than Raleigh could have ever imagined, but most importantly it holds the next chapters of a story that began in the Sipsey Wilderness. More journals are revealed with tales of the Indian Removal, and now the pages also contain glimpses of the Underground Railroad and murmurs of war. Raleigh finds that the Riddle family's history is as unique and diverse as it is strong and resilient.
