When they overhear the county's plan to take her house, Lou's determined to save it by uncovering the mystery of a stash of stolen Civil War gold, and hopes her great-great-great-grandmother's newly found secret diary can help. But Lou discovers her relatives run the gamut of rebels, rapscallions, and even a bona fide hero; and she soon learns that we can never truly leave our past behind"--Back cover.
