In the town of Monarch, Ohio, stands Moon Mansion. Ever since Irish immigrant and silversmith Thomas Moon rebuilt the house in the late 1800s, the Moons have been a fixture in the community.
In the 1980s, Andie Reagan, one of Thomas's descendants, becomes the mansion's sole owner after her sister's mysterious death. She also becomes the guardian of her niece but doesn't know if she's up to the challenge. To make matters worse, her husband has deserted her and she has an infuriating new partner at her antiques business. Ryan Jordan could put her livelihood in jeopardy, but Andie discovers a surprisingly appealing side to the Philadelphia transplant.
In this charming family saga, author Bobbie Reid expertly intertwines Andie's story with that of the family patriarch, Thomas. Thomas faced many challenges and prejudices in America, including being wrongly accused of a crime. Like Andie, Thomas needed to summon courage in the face of overwhelming obstacles but persevered. He eventually became a community leader and a champion of indentured servants.
Fortunately for Andie, the one thing the Moons have never lacked is a backbone. She will have to rely on this family legacy to discover the truth about her sister's death.
