Finding Eliza
by Stephanie Pitcher Fishman
"It’s just a little family history. What could go wrong?"
When Lizzie Clydell agreed to join her grandmother at the church’s genealogy group meeting she expected nothing more than lemon squares and a few stories. Instead, an old diary leads Lizzie and the ladies down a dusty road of lies, hidden family secrets, and a lynching that nearly destroyed her family.
Still struggling to make peace with the loss of her parents two decades earlier, Lizzie must confront the dark secrets others had hoped were forgotten. Her journey becomes even more difficult as she realizes those around her may not be as they seem.
Joining her is a group of lifelong friends known to Lizzie as The Gals. Headed up by her own grandmother, the group of women guide her through the past with humor, encouragement, and tough love.
Can Lizzie make peace with the past or will it destroy the relationships she holds most dear?
Finding Eliza is a contemporary story with flashes of historical fiction, Finding Eliza will challenge your ideas of the past while you read through every emotional chapter.
