Dark halls, dusty corners, and a palatial estate full of mystery and romance. Yes, please!
In the first pages of the novel, the reader meets Camilla “Millie” Sullivan as she’s visiting her grandmother at Golden Isles Assisted Living. Everything Millie knows about her father, whom she last saw when she was a young girl of four, she’s learned from her Grandma Joy. The problem is that Grandma Joy’s memory is failing her, and is getting worse by the day, leaving Golden Isles no choice except to ask Millie to find alternate arrangements for Joy. If Millie could make better wages than what the Hermit Crab Cafe could offer, she’d have Miss Joy at the finest establishment money could buy. That’s just impossible, though.
When Millie learns of a secret diary that her Great-Grandma Ruth kept while staying at the Chateau Dawkins, she can hardly contain her excitement. Meanwhile, Ben Thornton scribbles away in his classroom, line by line, in an old notebook, recounting the names of those with ruined lives. Lives marked by the hand of a woman on a mission.
There’s sure to be love and treasure on the Georgia coast in this spell-binding tale!
