Charlotte Howard would follow her fiancé, Dr. Stephen Miles, anywhere in the world. They’ve been corresponding by mail for years, ever since he briefly stayed with her family and they fell in love. So when he proposes and she finds herself in a small Southern California town called Twin Creeks, she considers it business as usual. After all, she’s been waiting for him to bring her out here for two whole years. But all isn’t rosy. She has to win over the board of Greenstone Academy, the local school, if she’s going to be appointed as the new teacher. Stephen’s patient, Mr. Greenstone, just won’t recover from a mysterious illness. And then a mysterious locket Charlotte buys turns out to hold not just a mystery scrap of paper but also a whole passel of trouble. With both her life and Stephen’s on the line, it’ll take all Charlotte’s faith and courage to see them safely through.
