Publisher's Summary:
Welcome to Cedar Mill, a late-19th century industrial town in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Rachel Morris - young, outspoken, and impulsive - becomes involved in a consuming relationship with David Cranmer, her long-time friend and partner-in-crime. Set against the backdrop of a vividly-imagined historical town that is itself in the throes of major change, this relationship comes to affect Rachel and David (and all who know them) in ways that are simultaneously deeply-felt, heartbreaking and revealing. Meanwhile, in present-day Boston, 20-something Emma Harris is reeling from the recent death of her mother. Teetering on the edge of depression and yearning for the certainty of knowledge, Emma undertakes a journey of discovery that ultimately leads her to the ruins of a Pine Barrens ghost town, where she might come to encounter the curious interplay between what is known and what is not, between truth and life - and, in so doing, find closure.

Loved It!
This piece of historical fiction was a very believable,seemingly true to life account of life in the 19th century Pine Barrens portion of NJ. One would believe that if they traveled there today, they would find the ruins of this community.
It held my interest from beginning to end. The characters were engaging. I found myself wanting to know as much about their lives as possible.
If I were asked before I read the book whether or not I thought I would enjoy it, honestly, I would have said no. I don't consider myself a big fan of historical fiction.
I am so glad I did read it! I would look forward to reading more of Ms. Moore's writings.

A Wonderful Book
This new author has written a thoroughly enjoyable historical novel. The characters are well-defined and credible, and the plot is absorbing. I'm looking forward to much more from Elizabeth Moore!
Great read you won't want to end!
As a lover of historical fiction, and native of NJ, this book is one of my favorites! I found the characters to be engaging and truthful. The story line leaves you hanging - as the fate of many of the small towns in the NJ pinelands does. It was an easy and quick read, hated for it to end!
