Cautious Claire Shelton, employee at a Maine antique shop, is surprised when she's recruited to catalog the treasures of reclusive Hanna Reeves, sole descendant of the state's most colorful shipbuilders and industrialists. Hanna's retreat from society years ago is just one of many mysteries behind the walls of Rose Hill, her fabled estate. Settling into Rose Hill's carriage house, Claire finds Hanna, nearing eighty, to be a still-formidable woman. She's demanding, judgmental, and protective of a mansion that is a veritable shrine to her ancestors. Then, diving into her work, Claire discovers a hidden library that is the stuff of legend among locals. An avid booklover, Claire is in heaven. More enthralling are Hanna's leather-bound family journals that open Claire up to the past - and soon forge a rich and unexpected bond between two very different women.
