But an unexpected call from the local police takes the successful lawyer back to her provincial hometown and pulls her into the family trouble she thought she'd left far behind: Her lying, party-loving sister, Vicky, is dead. Alma is told that a very drunk Vicky had wandered away from a party and died of exposure after a night in the brutal cold. But when Alma returns home to bury Vicky and see to her orphaned niece, she discovers that the death may not have been an accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Home Place\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of secrets that will not lie still, human bonds that will not break, and crippling memories that will not be silenced.
