It’s a history mystery you won’t be able to put down, with strong female characters and plenty of secrets. Plus, it takes you behind the scenes in vintage Hollywood and Martha’s Vineyard. A perfect beach read!”—Lisa Scottoline, #1 bestselling author of Loyalty and The Truth About the Devlins\nA tantalizing dual timeline novel of two women bound by blood but divided by a long-buried family secret, and the island that holds the key to the fateful summer that changed everything forever.\nIn 1959, at the height of vintage Hollywood's glamour, ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director…\nUntil she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off.\nAlmost sixty years later, Kit O’Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother’s attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles.\nPutting her investigative skills to use, Kit is determined to solve the riddle of her grandmother’s hidden past, and the trail eventually leads to Martha’s Vineyard.\nMercy retreats to the island nursing a broken heart, only to be drawn to the roguish Ren Sewards, who is not just the simple oysterman he appears to be but a scion of one of the island’s wealthy founding families. With her attraction to Ren quickly growing, Mercy soon finds herself entangled in the intrigues of the tightly knit community and the secrets of the Sewards.\nAlternating between Mercy and Kit’s timelines, including excerpts from letters Mercy wrote the summer she disappeared, this multigenerational saga unfurls into a heart-stopping story of love, betrayal, and even murder in The Lost Letters from Martha’s Vineyard.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0063282615\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0063282615.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Callahan, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
