Amanda Prescott is at a low point in her young life. Not only has her fiance succumbed to cancer, but her career as a concert pianist has evaporated, and her position with a prominent Senator has been derailed by government funding quirks. Amanda has few choices. A simple fender bender with Sheila Cameron, owner of an elite real estate agency, however, changes everything. Crippled by financial need, Amanda accepts a temporary position as an agent. Though insecure about her ability to handle exclusive estates and wealthy clients, Amanda uses pluck and creativity to sell her first home-the oldest historic home in Loudoun County.
The home once belonged to the Davis family, who immigrated to Virginia in 1725 seeking religious freedom. When Amanda and her next client, Ali Ahmed, discover the injured owner of a horse farm clutching a cryptic poem, Amanda is both frightened and intrigued by the cascading, intertwined events that follow.
Seamlessly weaving a historical storyline with a contemporary plot, this enticing novel captures one family's struggles, their immigration from Wales, and their efforts to establish places of worship-and one woman's plunge into unforeseen romance and danger.
