In the autumn of 1986 Nova Denver suffered a serious emotional blow with the sudden death of her mother Grace. Finding a clutch of paperwork in Grace's filing cabinet, Nova discovered evidence of her own previously undisclosed adoption in the 1950's. In a posthumous letter, Grace's emotional apology revealed that Nova's birth mother was actually Grace's sister, Elsa Benton. Nova put her career on hold at the Natural History Museum as she looked into Elsa's troubling past, and the circumstances that forced her into isolation during her pregnancy. When Nova was born in the Uintah Mountain wilderness of Northern Utah, the local sheepherder's daughter was Elsa's only friend. Six months after Grace's death, an evasive stranger mysteriously offered astonishingly cryptic clues to Elsa's past. His eccentric behavior and questionable motives put Nova on edge, prompting justifiable suspicion and concern. Enlisting her aunt Rue, best friend Jake, and renowned English psychic Sir Godfrey Wilton, they solved the decades old mystery of Elsa's life and her unknown father's identity.
