The Millbrook Genealogist: The Lost Mother

By Zoey Welch

When a birth certificate reveals an impossible truth, genealogist Margaret Chen uncovers a twenty-five-year-old conspiracy that will change everything.

Margaret "Maggie" Chen has spent fifteen years helping people trace their family trees from her quiet corner of the Millbrook Public Library. She's used to finding answers in dusty census records and old birth certificates-but she's never stumbled upon a mystery quite like this.

When Dorothy Whitman asks for help finding information about her sister Claire, who vanished in 1999, Maggie discovers something impossible: a birth certificate listing Claire as a mother... one year after she disappeared.

With her tech-savvy daughter Emma home for the summer, Maggie digs deeper and uncovers a dark conspiracy involving real estate fraud, falsified documents, and a powerful developer who will do anything to keep his secrets buried.

As Maggie and Emma race to uncover the truth, they find themselves in the crosshairs of dangerous people who've already silenced one woman for twenty-four years. Can a small-town librarian and her daughter bring a decades-old crime to light before it's too late?

Perfect for fans of small-town mysteries and armchair genealogy, The Millbrook Genealogist: The Lost Mother is a heartwarming tale of justice, family reunions, and the power of never giving up on the truth.
