A mysterious manuscript. A forgotten past. A journey back to where it all began.

Jen Gibbs, a successful New York editor, finds her world upended when an old, weathered manuscript lands on her desk. As she turns the pages, she's drawn into the harrowing tale of Sarra, a mixed-race Melungeon girl trapped by dangerous men in turn-of-the-century Appalachia.

Obsessed with uncovering the manuscript's origins, Jen's search leads her back to the Blue Ridge Mountains—a place she swore she'd left behind forever. With each revelation, the lines between Sarra's life and her own begin to blur.

Will Jen risk everything to unveil the secrets of The Story Keeper? Or will the price of the truth be more than she's willing to pay?
