As the Revolutionary War unfurls around her, Rebekah Stanton is abandoned by the man who once claimed to love her. Shunned by her father and forced to give up her child, she finds herself thrust into prostitution at the local boarding house.
When the British seize control of the nearby fort, she gives little thought to the officers who frequent the boarding house. Men are men regardless of the color of their uniform…or so she believes. But then a young man—a Patriot spy named Benjamin Renshaw—stumbles upon her in the darkness, and she saves him from a group of pursuing Redcoats.
With an attack on the fort brewing in the background and the father of her child returned to serve with the British, Rebekah is torn between old dreams and new hope, struggling all the while to find peace and forgiveness in a place of rising conflict.
1956: In the quiet village of Wilbeth Green, the smoldering ruins of Rosemont Abbey set the residents' tongues
wagging, and everyone is quick to accuse troublemaker Paul Everly of being the arsonist. Paul has vanished
without a trace, leaving only his twin sister, Louisa, certain of his innocence. Fueling her conviction is an
inexplicable connection--she felt her twin's death an hour before the abbey went up in flames.
Knowing no one will believe her, Louisa embarks on her own investigation, challenging the skepticism of her
neighbors and the disdain of her aunt and uncle. Even Inspector Malcolm Sinclair, once Paul's closest friend,
is torn between his duty and a lingering loyalty to Paul and warns Louisa to abandon her pursuit. But Louisa
is determined to solve a murder no one else believes was committed, even if it means unraveling secrets that
could shake Wilbeth Green to its core.
Award-winning author Naomi Stephens presents a gripping whodunnit--reminiscent of the beloved Agatha
Christie tales--of love and redemption set in a quaint British village.
