Journalism class becomes the source of Daisy's greatest challenge when the year project is assigned. Everyone is to trace their family history as far back as possible and write about what they learn of their ancestors. Genealogy can be a lot of fun, and for a while, Daisy is really enjoying learning about her ancestors and their lives.
Throughout her life, no one has wanted to talk to her about her mother, not her father, not her grandparents. As she begins digging for information, she finds a treasure trove of documents at her maternal grandparents. Her grandfather had begun his own search into genealogy and gave her access to boxes of his results. With each discovery, Lady Howard becomes a more persistent presence in Daisy's life. Daisy doesn't have to dig for long before she makes a startling discovery about her mother.
The book is aptly named. The further Daisy gets into her research, the more obsessed she becomes with finding answers. Lady Howard wants something from her and is making it very clear Daisy won't like the consequences for not helping. Tyler, Alice and Jake become more and more concerned with her welfare. Tyler is especially worried and no one knows what to do to help. Her obsession with finding answers may cost her the one person she loves most of all if she can't pull it together.
The story is fraught with tension and definitely a page turner. I found myself not only pulling for Tyler to stick it out and be supportive of Daisy and what she's going through, but wanting Daisy to have someone to lean on. This is a great sequel making Hannan two for two. I'm very much looking forward to reading the next book in this series. This book is both well written and well edited. I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars
This book is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.
