Jessica Lynn was a grief-stricken seventeen-year-old that spring of 1988 when she and her friends visited the flea market and purchased the matching necklaces. It was just a necklace made from someone’s old dinner plate. Or was it? The dreams started then… leading her back in time to the 1940’s… to an unsolved mystery laced with racism, social injustice, a deceitful coverup, and hints of mob activity. Will Jessica be able to unravel the clues and discover the truth? And will she be able to help unite the people she loves in the small ranching community where she lives?
A beautiful story of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances… all entwined in an intriguing historical murder mystery.
When the anonymous manuscript arrives at the office of a small publishing company, it is typed… typed on an old manual typewriter. On top is a simple note that reads: I don’t want any money, I just want everyone to know about my Rose.
