Home to Beulah: A genealogy mystery
No Customer Reviews
A forgotten inheritance. A century-old secret. A journey that will change everything.
Detroit, 1923. Twenty-two-year-old Grace Dorsch spends her days caring for her family, believing her future has already been decided. Then an unexpected letter arrives: a college professor she has never met has left her a cottage on the shores of Crystal Lake in the small village of Beulah, Michigan. As Grace settles into her new home, she discovers that the inheritance comes with unsettling questions. Why was she chosen? Who was Edith Van Wagoner? And why is someone determined to drive her away before she can uncover the truth?
With only old letters, fading photographs, courthouse records, newspapers, and the help of newfound friends, Grace pieces together clues that challenge everything she has believed about her family-and even her own identity. Rich in historical detail and inspired by the methods of real genealogical research, Home to Beulah is a heartwarming mystery of family, friendship, courage, and the enduring power of the past. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, cozy mysteries, and stories where every family tree hides a secret. Reader comments:
Grace inherits more than a rustic cottage as her new life unfolds with surprising discoveries in researching her family genealogy. Sweet storyline. I loved how the author wove a story of factual and fictional people with factual places and times. I so enjoyed this book. I live in Michigan and my parents lived in Honor down the road from Beulah and Crystal Lake. It was such fun reading about the area and what it was like in the 1920's. As a lifetime Michigander, I loved the story that involved the famous Cherry Hut, Crystal Lake and Beulah. Wonderful research and accurate historical detail made Home to Beulah a great read.
