A Trench Full of Secrets
Late Spring 1877. As a favor to the newspaper’s owner, Cora Countryman edits the town newspaper and takes charge of the newsboy’s well-being. Excited to be so trusted, she botches her first article, infuriating Wanee’s women—never a good thing.
But Cora made a promise to the owner/editor she intends to keep. Ignoring her dress shop and boarding house, she concentrates on publishing the daily paper. That is until two skeletons are found by diggers while trenching the new water main.
Intrigued, Cora sets about identifying the bodies. But as she digs deeper, she becomes fixated on the identity of a mysterious child connected to the victims. With the year 1865 and the memory of a shanty fire looming over her investigation, Cora suspects a returned Civil War veteran, but which one?
