What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains a mystery, but the women who descended from Eleanor Dare have long known that the truth lies in what she left behind: a message carved onto a large stone and the contents of her treasured commonplace book. In the waning days of World War II, Eleanor's daughter, Alice, is unexpectedly presented with her birthright: the deed to Evertell, her abandoned family home. Determined to sell the property and step into a future free of the past, Alice returns to Savannah with her 13-year-old daughter, Penn. But when Penn’s curiosity over the lineage she never knew begins to unveil secrets, and Eleanor’s book is finally found, Alice is forced to reckon with the sacrifices made for love and the realities of their true inheritance as daughters of Eleanor Dare.
