About this ebook
It has always been a burden for quiet, level-headed Tess Lanier to be the daughter of Nina Lane -- the gifted and tormented author who died soon after Tess's birth. Determined to be nothing like her exuberant mother, Tess, a collector of antique lace, lives in California, safe and anonymous, far from theKansas town her family once called home, where Nina penned her extraordinary stories.
But when her dying grandfather asks her to go back, she cannot refuse. And on the banks of the Missouri River, she meets Ned Ravenal, a vibrant man who is living his dream, excavating a paddlewheel steamboat that sank one hundred and fifty years ago. Tess had family on that boat, and Ned uncovers their secrets that, in turn, unlock the mysteries of Nina's life. No longer afraid of the past, Tess discovers in herself spirit, passion, and richness as intricate as her lace.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I haave had this in paper for the longest time but I didn't read it. I don't know why because I love Seidel's books. This turned out to be an excellent one. It had a brilliant way of interspersing history with the contemporary period of the characters. While it was clear to the readers why the two main characters would get together, it was not clear to them for legitimate reasons. What made the book really special were the book's secondary characters (calling them that is a disservice) and the careful attention that Seidel always pays to building a picture of the community that the characters inhabit. She makes it achingly clear what that world is even to someone who has never lived in that environment. Although this book was written quite awhile ago (2002), it has aged well.
