Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. Murder, mayhem, and a fine man are wreaking havoc on her birthday, but will her sleuthing leave her alive to see past thirty-five? A complicated murder investigation unearths a closet full of skeletons Amanda thought were long gone. She needs to spill her guts, but not on the handsome lead detective's alligator shoes-especially if she wants him to ask her out. Instead, she finds herself at the scene of a crime, and she just may know who the killer is. But with her birthday approaching and no current prospects for fulfilling her dream of having a family, Amanda Bell Brown decides to get out and paint the town-in her drop-dead red birthday dress.

Life as a forensic psychologist isn't quite as cool as it looks on prime-time TV.
