The Porch

By Merrilee Franklin

Six generations. One porch. A century of secrets.

Since 1895, the stately porch of the old family home has been more than just wood and paint-it's been a launchpad for dreams. From Archie and Jewell, who built it with hope, to the six generations of children who followed, the porch has seen it all.

It was a field hospital for Sara's soldiers, a cockpit for Matt's flights to Antarctica, and a gateway to the world for Jake and Mike. But tucked beneath the floorboards, hidden among the treasure chests of family memorabilia, lies a secret that hasn't aged a day: a Japanese Puzzle Box. When a family scavenger hunt turns into a journey through a century of secrets, the box is finally opened-revealing a truth that will change the family's legacy forever.
