"What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured Commonplace Book. Brought from England on Eleanor's fateful voyage to the New World, her book was passed down through the fifteen generations of daughters who followed as they came of age. Thirteen-year-old Alice had been next in line to receive it. In the waning days of World War Two, Alice is a young widow and mother when she is presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. When her daughter Penn's curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone of the old house and Eleanor's book is finally found, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare." --, Publisher's description
