In Reaching Back and Reborn, Nea Anna Simone brought readers deep into the heart of an unforgettable family. Mignon Samuels overcame generations of heartache to become a strong, proud woman. But for her three daughters, Madison, Summer and Cody, the journey is just beginning . . . It's been ten years since Madison ran away from her home . . . and her past. Now, with her second CD gone platinum, Madison's on top of the world, until a nosy reporter delves into her troubled history. To escape the media frenzy, Madison heads back to Louisiana -- and straight into the path of terrible danger. As time passes with no word from Madison, her sisters grow concerned. Summer, a budding tennis superstar, is determined to find Madison and offer her the help she couldn't give when they were younger, but it may mean sacrificing her career. Fierce-hearted Cody joins in the search, eager to get revenge on those who hurt her sister. But Madison's disappearance will affect Mignon the most, testing her faith and her sanity. And as painful truths come to light, each woman must look to the legacy of her ancestors for hope, healing and the courage to embrace a future filled with promise.
