Black-Eyed Susans
Heaberlin Julia
I am the star of screaming headlines and campfire ghost stories. I am one of the four Black-Eyed Susans. The lucky one.
As a sixteen-year-old, Tessa Cartwright was found in a Texas field,
barely alive amid a scattering of bones, with only fragments of memory
as to how she got there. Ever since, the press has pursued her as the
lone surviving “Black-Eyed Susan,” the nickname given to the murder
victims because of the yellow carpet of wildflowers that flourished
above their shared grave. Tessa’s testimony about those tragic hours put
a man on death row.
Now, almost two decades later, Tessa is an
artist and single mother. In the desolate cold of February, she is
shocked to discover a freshly planted patch of black-eyed susans—a
summertime bloom—just outside her bedroom window. Terrified at the
implications—that she sent the wrong man to prison and the real killer
remains at large—Tessa turns to the lawyers working to exonerate the man
awaiting execution. But the flowers alone are not proof enough, and the
forensic investigation of the still-unidentified bones is progressing
too slowly. An innocent life hangs in the balance. The legal team
appeals to Tessa to undergo hypnosis to retrieve lost memories—and to
share the drawings she produced as part of an experimental therapy
shortly after her rescue.
What they don’t know is that Tessa and
the scared, fragile girl she was have built a fortress of secrets. As
the clock ticks toward the execution, Tessa fears for her sanity, but
even more for the safety of her teenaged daughter. Is a serial killer
still roaming free, taunting Tessa with a trail of clues? She has no
choice but to confront old ghosts and lingering nightmares to finally
discover what really happened that night.
