For Where Your Treasure Is. . .

Book Cover & Preview Text
And then she mentally replayed the conversation that
had not been for her ears, but that she had heard nonetheless, when she was in
bed and supposed to be asleep: "If
you're looking for the family treasures by coming out here, you can forget
it. You left, and when you did, you
left the treasures behind, too," she heard her uncle say.
She could almost see the Scottish temper rising in
her grandfather, turning his face beet red:
"It's not the treasures I'm after at all. If you weren't so money-minded yourself, you'd have known
that. I thought the least I could do
was pay respect to the dead."
"If you were so all-powerful concerned about
your own father, you would have come before he died. It's too late to make amends now."
Apparently a door had been shut at that time,
because Heather could hear their voices after that, but she couldn't make out
what they were saying.

About the Book
When Heather McNabb is called to the bedside of her
dying great-uncle, she is given his Bible and his admonition to find the
treasure. Although she knows very
little about her Scottish roots and the family treasure, she decides to move
from her comfort zone in Chicago to Fifeshire, Maine, where Thistle-field
Manor, her uncle’s home, is located.
Although she is drawn to Doug, the son of the manor
housekeeper, it is the new doctor in town, Ted Jensen, that commands her time
and attention. But an accident on the
highway, and a fire on the property bring Doug and Heather together in unusual
circumstances. But through all of this
the hidden treasure is not to be found.
Will it ever be?
