USA Today Bestselling author Kathi Daley brings you a heartwarming mystery series about finding answers and fostering hope while building friendships and embracing the magic of life by the sea and small town holidays. Ainsley Holloway came to Gooseberry Bay to find answers about her past. She came to find an explanation for the dreams that had haunted her after the death of the cop who'd both rescued and raised her, and she came to find the identity of the family she couldn't remember but assumed at one point she'd been part of. She hoped that by finding these answers she'd also find healing. She hoped that once she exorcised the memories buried deep in her mind, she'd find peace.

It's a series about shared holidays, festivals, and celebrations. It's a series about shared heartbreak and hardship as well. And it's a series about the bond that can be forged amongst strangers when tragedy binds two or more individuals with a common goal.In book 2 in the series, Ainsley finally meets Adam Winchester who agrees to help her find the answers she is looking for. Meanwhile, Ainsley joins forces with Parker, Jemma, and Josie as they search for the truth about what might have happened to the family who vanished five Thanksgivings ago.
