Ruby Proulx’s new life in Orchard Beach, Maine, faces
some sinister complications in the next Change of Fortune
Mystery by Jessica Estevao…
Free from the clutches of her con artist father, Ruby Proulx
is starting to settle in at the Belden, her aunt Honoria’s
seaside hotel. She loves finally being rooted in one place
and also feels a sense of purpose as she helps Honoria keep
her business afloat by acting as a psychic medium for the
hotel’s metaphysically inclined guests.
When one of the guests, renowned Spiritualist and outspoken
suffragist Sophronia Foster Eldridge, checks into the hotel
for a monthlong stay, Ruby finds her sense of purpose
expands outside the confines of home and family. Sophronia
takes Ruby under her wing and mentors her in the mediumistic
abilities, encouraging her to fight for women’s rights.
But not everyone is as happy with Sophronia’s appearance in
Old Orchard. When a dangerous act of sabotage is carried out
and a body is found floating in the pool of a local
bathhouse, Ruby takes it upon herself to find answers— and
in the process learns that her new friend has been hiding
some deadly secrets of her own…
