In pursuit of a rare book, will Natalie and Mason find each other again?

With her twenty-plus-year marriage on the brink of collapse, bookish Natalie Daughtry immerses herself in her new bookstore job. When the mysterious Caspar gathers Natalie and her friends Everleigh and Brooke for the second time, she's ready for an adventure to disperse the turmoil clouding her marriage. Caspar enlists their help in searching for a rumored copy of Lewis Carroll's handwritten and illustrated manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground. Natalie is immediately enticed--this is the perfect distraction.

But then Mason joins the team, and suddenly Natalie and her husband are side-by-side on the search for this elusive treasure. Being forced to work together has them tumbling deep into their past, seeking answers to old misunderstandings. When they emerge from the rabbit hole, things aren't the same. Will they rediscover the love that once held the pages of their life together?

Customer Reviews

fantastic dual-time adventure

"Slightly tattered love is the most beautiful of loves, especially for those who've weathered the tearing together." The series keeps getting better with each consecutive book. I really enjoyed reconnecting with Everleigh and Niles and loved getting to know Natalie and Mason. Natalie and Mason are polar opposites who fell in love in high school and have lost their way due to busyness of life and complacency. Their romance is one that is rekindled after twenty-two years of marriage. They uncover the cracks that have driven them apart and correct the long-standing misconceptions that were based on insecurity. I totally empathized with Natalie and Mason; the lessons they learned about faith, trust, and communication really hit home. I absolutely adored traveling back in time to Luciana Perez in Spain to glean the puzzle pieces regarding the treasure the team is chasing. The adventure that spans France, Boston, Scotland, and London is fascinating, thrilling, and packed with twists and turns. I love these intrigue and suspense elements to the books in this series. The book ends on a cliff-hanger with a jaw-dropping revelation; I can't wait for the third book and how Brooke and Storm's adventure will add to the series. If you enjoy dual-time fiction, you will adore this book and series. It has unforgettable characters, swoony romance, thrilling plot, and applicable Biblical wisdom.
