The Brooch Beneath the Floorboards

By Donna M Niemi

Book 3 of the Accidental Genealogist Anthology

When Ellen Markham discovers a tarnished brooch hidden beneath the floorboards of her old Victorian home, she thinks it's only a forgotten keepsake, until she finds the name Clara on an envelope tucked beside it.

Her search into an 1879 tragedy leads her through fading records, a doctor's cold ledger, and a rosebush that never bloomed until the truth began to rise. As Cedar Run quietly awakens to a story it never meant to forget, Ellen realizes she's not just uncovering a child's fate, she's restoring a family's voice.

The Brooch Beneath the Floorboards is a gentle, haunting mystery about remembrance, restoration, and the healing found when the past is finally heard.
