For years, Cameron has taken care of Oliver Doucet, an elderly historian living in William Faulkner’s home town of Oxford, Mississippi. Now pushing 30, Cameron still smarts over the dissolution of her friendship with Sonya Gray, her best friend in high school. When Oliver dies, his last instructions to her are to track Sonya down and try to repair the friendship--and to give her a mysterious sealed package. Intrigued, and honor bound, Cameron sets out to do just that. How she finds Sonia, what caused their long-ago rift, and what’s in the package are all finally revealed in a page-turner that explores the nature of friendship and the idea that losing a really good friend is ’a little like being orphaned.
