Previously Loved Treasures FPA President's Book Award WINNER
FROM A USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Bette Lee Crosby comes a heartwarming mystery that is rich with imagination and magic.
In Previously Loved Treasures, Book Two of The Serendipity Series, recently widowed Ida Sweetwater finds the granddaughter she never knew she had and turns a group of haphazard strangers into family.
Struggling to make ends meet, Ida turns her cozy home into a boarding house and goes in search of used furniture. This quest leads to the Previously Loved Treasures shop and Peter Pennington, a delightfully strange proprietor who anticipates people's needs. In addition to bargains, Peter hands out sage advice. When a pocket watch belonging to one of the residents goes missing for a second time he warns of danger–but will Ida's granddaughter listen and will she heed his advice?
This is a story that resonates with Crosby's heartwarming albeit quirky characters and the joy of a pay-it-forward philosophy.
FPA President's Book Award Medalist and currently a Finalist in the Royal Palm Literary Award, Previously Loved Treasures appears to be following in the footsteps of The Twelfth Child, Book One in the Serendipity Series.
