Mack straightened and crossed his arms over his chest. “Why have you been nosing around Ms. Aurora’s the last two days?”
“It has to do with my sister—when she came back to Marietta last spring.”

“Eileen probably kept out of sight due to her condition.”
Mack turned sharply to stare at her. “She was pregnant? Where’s the baby?”
“That’s just it, Mack. Momma says the baby has been stolen.”
“That’s why you’ve been spying on Aurora’s place.” The pieces began to fall into place. “You think Sarah is Eileen’s baby?”
