The White Oak Lodge (The Whitmore Series Book 1)

It's been decades since a mysterious fire engulfed the White Oak Lodge. But what really happened that night?

Why haven't Benjamin and Jack Whitmore been seen since?

Can the remaining Whitmores discover the truth and restore the once-great White Oak Lodge to its former glory?

The Fourth of July night Nina Whitmore's home went up in flames, she was ten years old. After that, her father and brother disappeared, her mother left the country, and Nina was sent to live with her Great Aunt Genevieve in Northern Michigan. There, she tried (and failed) to forget about the White Oak Lodge and Nantucket Island.

Now, Nina is a professor of anthropology at Princeton University. Her greatest joy is looking at the clues of humanity's past and rewriting the stories of how we see ourselves. She lives with her husband and two wonderful children and has her fingers crossed for tenure.

But when secrets about her marriage seep to the surface, Nina is forced to ask herself questions about her career, her happiness, and her past.

Her husband is an anthropologist, too. There's a chance he's been studying Nina for clues of what happened almost thirty years ago. But why is her husband so curious? Besides the Lodge and her family, what else was lost that night?

What else isn't he telling her?

Heartbroken and heavy with shock, Nina flees Princeton for Nantucket. Armed with a photograph that provides an important clue regarding the disappearance of her brother, she digs into her memories and Nantucket history to discover what really happened the night of the fire.

To her surprise, her return marks a shift in the Whitmore Family's history.

Suddenly, she's not the only Whitmore back on Nantucket Island.

Can the Whitmore family rip through the boundaries of time to see one another for who they really are?

Can they ever forgive?
