Some legacies are lost to time. Others are waiting to be found. Tammy Rumbelow never imagined her fresh start in small-town Michigan would lead her into decades-old mysteries. But beneath the cozy book readings and bakery scents, Willowcroft hides the tangled roots of betrayal, buried truths, and a heist that was never meant to be uncovered.

With the help of her cat and a mismatched team of amateur sleuths—including a bookseller and genealogist, a tech-savvy teen, a sharp-eyed retiree, and a former sheriff—Tammy stumbles upon a hidden past woven through dusty tunnels, long-lost letters, and the fading whispers of women history tried to forget.

The team will piece together a mystery that spans generations—one that may rewrite everything the town thought it knew.

Warm, witty, and heartfelt, this cozy mystery is a love letter to found family, second chances, and the stories waiting to be told—if only someone is brave enough to dig deep.
