What would you do if you inherited a century's worth of mysteries?
On the morning of her birthday, Emma dreams of flying above an
unfamiliar landscape. But dreaming is as close as she has ever come
to the happiness she longs for. Devastated by childlessness and
divorce, she is isolated and deeply depressed. Then a package
arrives on that fateful birthday. Inside is a picture straight out
of her dream, a package of... tea? And a letter signed with her
name: Emma Rae Wright. Add to that a phone call from a lawyer in
California, and Emma is catapulted into a journey across country
and across decades. How does a confirmed recluse juggle attractive
men, priceless Russian jewels, ageless relatives, angry fathers,
and tea that has rather... curious properties? From her grungy
Michigan apartment to sun-dappled redwood forests, from a dead-end
job to a partnership in an exotic and unusual company, Emma's life
gets tangled beyond recognition. Desperate to make sense of ever
more baffling circumstances, Emma is forced to face her own inner
demons as well as the extraordinary legacy left behind by a woman
who disappeared without a trace over ninety years ago.
