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.
