About this item

She's uncovering the past. One letter at a time.

Bonnie Wilkins has always put her family first, pouring her heart into her roles as a wife and mother. But when her husband Pete's sudden and mysterious passing leaves her a widow at 60, Bonnie's world turns upside down. With her kids grown and out of the house, she's facing a new phase of life. Alone. To make things worse, Pete was hiding a mountain of debt, throwing Bonnie into financial chaos.

Determined to escape for a while, Bonnie decides to spend one last summer at the cherished family cabin in Lake Placid, a place brimming with memories. It's supposed to be her sanctuary, but Jack, the friendly neighbor with an annoyingly persistent streak, keeps intruding on her solitude.

Just when Bonnie thinks she's alone, she stumbles upon a letter from Pete, hidden away with care. Convinced that this is the key to understanding her late husband's secrets, she embarks on an emotional journey. Guided by cryptic messages, hidden coins, and clues that feel like breadcrumbs left by Pete, Bonnie is on a mission to uncover the truth.

Will Bonnie piece together the puzzle of Pete's past, rediscover herself, and start anew? Or will she be left with more questions than answers, risking the loss of everything she's ever cherished?

Escape with this heartfelt adventure set under the soothing summer skies of Lake Placid. Discover love, mystery, and the power of self-discovery in a tale that promises to tug at your heartstrings and cheer for new beginnings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start!

Bonnie had a couple of shocks. One was that she was now alone. Her husband is dead, being killed while jogging. Next thinking she was going to be all alone. She was hoping her children would stay a little longer after the funeral. Her next thought to keep busy was to look into her husband’s business. She figures she can start somewhere positive instead of sitting doing nothing but feeling sorry for herself. What will she find out? I received a free book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Just the Beginning and the Mystery Builds
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024
If you like suspense and mystery, this will be a book to check. The mystery builds as you flip through the pages. Bonnie's husband, Peter, tragically dies while out on his morning run… but did he? Yes there's a death certificate and a funeral. He was hit by a car, his body so mangled that Bonnie wasn't able to see him… at least that's what the police, the coroner and the funeral director convinces her. Thus it's a closed casket.

But right after the funeral all the questions come piling in. They were wealthy so where did all the money go? Why was Peter's car repossessed, it was supposed to be paid for? Why are Peter's four businesses one million dollars EACH in arrears with bank loans? What happened to his office space, why have the doors been shut and where are the 30 employees? Lot of questions and poor Bonnie had no clue things were bad UNTIL that knock on the door with police telling her Peter was dead. As hard as it is, she has to let go of grief and look for answers.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another sensational start to a new series by Sage Parker. I am totally hooked on this story already and can't wait for the remaining books in the series. Sage is a fantastic writer and storyteller.

I read this book as part of an advance reader team and am voluntarily reviewing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saga Begins
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024
The first paragraph in this book sets a tone that had me on the edge of my seat!! Bonnie is going through one of the most devastating events in a woman’s life. She has to learn so much about her husband, their marriage and his life outside of her. One very glaring thing for any spouse is to understand the financial responsibilities you are both accountable for. This serried has set in motion numerous issues Bonnie had to learn and navigate with very little knowledge. I have soooo many questions!????????! Bring on the next book.

This Booksprout ARC had me anxious for the next book.
