Maggie Watson thought she would spend the rest of her life in Vermont, living in the picturesque cottage home where she'd raised her family. But after her husband's death three years ago and her daughter's recent departure for college, the empty nester knew it was time to start a new chapter in her life. That chapter begins unexpectedly when Maggie inherits her aunt's nineteenth-century Colonial Revival, Sedgwick Manor, and the adjacent Carriage House Antiques shop located in the charming seaside town of Somerset Harbor, Maine. Maggie always dreams of owning an antiques store and discovering the stories each item has to tell. But when she finds a photo of her aunt hidden in the backing of an old mirror, she discovers a story of mystery, danger and the impossible. Standing beside her aunt in the recent photo is her uncle, a man who died twenty years ago. With the help of the ladies in this historical society and James Bennett, a historic preservationist and handsome bachelor, Maggie uncovers shocking secrets about her aunt's final months and her uncle's past.
