When practical Morgan buys an old journal from a small-town antique shop, she doesn't expect it to tug her into the life of Matilda?a young woman who died in a fire a century ago. Mattie's diary entries feel strangely familiar, stirring echoes Morgan can't explain and guiding her toward a mystery long buried in her hometown's history.
As Morgan follows the clues Mattie left behind, she finds herself drawn back into the orbit of Beau, the steady, loyal man she once loved and never quite forgot. He's the one person who believes her, the one who shows up when the past gets heavy, and the one who makes her wonder if second chances really do rise from the ashes.
A tender blend of mystery, memory, and sweet, closed-door romance, Ashes and Other Inheritances is a story about healing old wounds, rediscovering love, and finding your way home?with a little help from the past.
