The fate of the world is often driven by the curiosity of a girl.
What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that 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, but her mother’s tragic death fractured the unbroken legacy and the Dare Stone and the shadowy history recorded in the book faded into memory. Or so Alice hoped.
In the waning days of World War II, Alice is a young widow and a mother herself when she is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell, her abandoned family home and the history she thought forgotten. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past, Alice returns to Savannah with her own thirteen-year-old daughter, Penn, in tow. But when Penn’s curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets from beneath every stone and bone and shell 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.
In this sweeping tale from award-winning author Kimberly Brock, the answers to a real-life mystery may be found in the pages of a story that was always waiting to be written.

Shoutout to my Mamma for suggesting I read this book, she knew I would love it and that was before I was even sold on it.
My head is swimming with what to say. There are so many parts and pieces I want to gush about but that would give away too many of the plot points of this story. I will say, there was one complaint I had. Being as it were this book did not take too much note on the Lost Colony or Roanoke and that was a huge factor in me finally reading this book. The parts that were mentioned were brilliant! A bit of history and a bit of fiction so that really didn't hinder my rating too much.
Pen and her mom were my entire heart though, their relationship might have been difficult because of loss and past heartache but their love was real. They never failed to find out exactly what was going on here even if it took a bit of convincing on Eleanor's side.
Brittany Pressley narrated this story beautifully and while I have been a fan of hers for some time now, this one set that love in stone. Her narrations always come to life and seeing her voice in a role where the mystical and magical were present just made me giddy!
Huge thanks to Kimberly Brock for giving us this story about one family's journey from then to now and back again.
Brilliantly done but I did want a bit more...
