Overview

Celia Brandt thought she'd left heartbreak behind when her husband died-until a chance find at the annual Village Fête plunges her back into mystery. Inside a set of antique bird boxes she's commissioned for her fledgling woodworking business, Celia discovers cryptic notes and carved symbols hinting at the disappearance of a young girl decades earlier. As she follows clue by clue-from whispered warnings in the grain to a reclusive sculptor's hidden secret-Celia must confront her own grief and the town's buried past. With every splinter she uncovers, the stakes grow more dangerous, culminating beneath the old vineyard vines in a storm of revelation. In the end, Celia not only unearths the truth of the missing child but, piece by piece, rebuilds her own sense of hope and belonging.

Author Information

Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert is an eclectic South African storyteller based in the Karoo town of Willowmore. She writes across age groups and genres-whimsical children's picture books and activity titles, Scripture-grounded devotionals, heart-tugging romances, and edge-of-your-seat mysteries and supernatural thrillers. Anchored in faith and a love for everyday miracles, Beverley's books celebrate courage, compassion, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Her granddaughter often inspires her children's stories, while her rural surroundings and South African heritage lend texture and authenticity to her adult fiction. When she isn't plotting a new series or polishing a manuscript, she's likely sketching ideas for illustrations, sipping rooibos, or walking under the wide Karoo sky with her husband, Shaun.
