But when his mother, Sylvania, pleads with Grace for mercy, she is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life. Calvin Stewart is a hard-working, devoted father and husband...except for one thing. For many years he's concealed a secret that will shake not only the foundation of his life, but Nettie's and their children's. When a shadow from his past steps in-one full of evil intent and deadly consequence-everything Calvin values will be threatened. "Shadows have sounds, but they are not all the same.
