Lizzie, a small-town waitress, thought she'd finally met her prince charming in Dr. Grant Chatsworth. She was young and in love, and the quick courtship ended with the four carat diamond engagement ring of her dreams. Now residing in one of Buckhead's finest estates, Lizzie soon learns all that glitters is not gold. Her handsome husband, renowned cardiac surgeon and developer of a new congestive heart failure drug, was becoming cruel and controlling. Lizzie finds herself captive in the vast expanse of his estate without a phone or a car, and under the watchful eye of Flossie. When Lizzie discovers that her husband's drug development company is a Ponzi scheme, she realizes that her life could be in danger if she doesn't somehow escape the gated mansion on the hill. With her parents deceased, her only hope is to get to Biloxi, Mississippi and seek refuge with her sister, Maggie. Maggie and her husband Leland quickly find a safe harbor for Lizzie in a house on the bayou. However the house at the end of the street might not be the quiet retreat Lizzie was hoping for. The confines of her hideaway soon get to Lizzie so she begins sneaking out in the middle of the night to walk in the historical cemetery next door. One night a damaged, carved lamb on top of the tombstone of a small child catches her eye, and the story of the child immediately captures her heart. Just when Lizzie Chatsworth thinks her world can't get any more complicated, she finds herself in the middle of a mystery from the 1800's that is pulling her in and demanding she seek justice. As her husband's empire begins to crumble, he's more determined than ever to find Lizzie and kill her. But, will the mystery of Baby Belle's death end Lizzie's life first?
