Publisher Description

Welcome to Eagle River, where the streets are lined with quaint shops and historic homes. But gossip flows freely here, and this cozy small town is sheltering big secrets. Can mail carrier Kate Duncan deliver the truth before it’s too late?

Kate hits the brakes one summer afternoon when a veterinarian in a pasture flags down her mail car. She taps her rusty farm-girl skills to help deliver a calf, then uncovers a puzzling mystery: The elderly man living alone at this place has vanished without a trace.

As she travels the back roads, Kate unearths intriguing leads about a quiet man most residents barely knew. When the official investigation’s twists and turns generate nothing but dead ends, will she be the one to close the case?

It’s an unexpected journey marked not by miles of gravel, but matters of the heart: friendship, family, and the meaningful connections that add up to a well-lived life.
