"Everything changes the night a man named Sanders Collier - strikingly handsome and elegantly dressed - makes his dramatic entrance into the Florida panhandle town of Citrus. Even after he settles down, marries, and has a child, he sets off a chain of events that culminates with his death in a suspicious "hunting" accident. Sanders's son, Roy, grows up listening to his mother's stories about his aristocratic father. But there's more than one story circulating through town about Sanders Collier. No one, Roy realizes, will tell him the truth. Especially not his mother's younger and more beautiful sister, April." "Roy's Aunt April takes him under her wing and teaches him to live exuberantly and passionately. But when he grows into the mirror image of his father, the secrets of the past begin to reveal themselves.". "This is the story of a family plagued by its own history, and of a son looking for the truth about his murdered father. And it's the story of April, who makes every man in Citrus do crazy things. Including her own nephew."--BOOK JACKET.
