Finding What We Lost

On a remote Maine island, a woman vanishes.

Everyone knows Dotty Hartley is eccentric. She dresses like it's 1910, uses century-old tools, and lives on her isolated island. Odd, yes - but beloved. Which is why her sudden disappearance makes no sense.

Megan Fields begins the search for her great-aunt in Dotty's haunted Victorian house. Trapped by the tides and sharing the island with Tyler Hartley, who once twisted her teenaged heart into knots, she must decide whether the man he's become is someone she can trust.

Megan and Tyler uncover a secret room, a cryptic love letter, a Viking runestone, and the presence of a ghost desperate for a second chance. Kidnap suspects multiply quickly: a shady archaeologist, Tyler's obsessive stalker, and anyone who wants pirate treasure rumored to lie on the island.

Together, the seekers navigate Dotty's strange world, confront the obstacles that pushed them apart, and follow the clues left by ancestors and ancients. Because sometimes, the way forward is through the past we left behind.
