Overview:

The book cover for This is where it ends asks the question, How long is a body expected to keep a secret? And that is exactly what Minerva Jane Jenkins would like to know. Wed at the tender age of fourteen (certainly not unheard of in Kentucky in the 1800’s), Minerva’s husband carried a small box with him, everyone assuming it held gold. Now at the age of 94, with her husband passed away, Minerva has kept her promise to keep the box and its contents a secret. Del Rankin visits Minerva-he’s a reporter interested in a story. Tales of hidden gold are circulating and he wants her account. As a friendship grows between these two improbable characters, will Minerva be able to keep her secret to herself?
