The Merchant's Daughter
After a DNA test, Rachel Marlowe, an actress from an aristocratic family, learns she has an African ancestor.
She has always been told her family had been in England since 1066, the time of William the Conqueror, and they have a family tree showing an unbroken line of male descendants.
Unable to discover the truth herself, she turns to Jayne Sinclair to research her past.
Which one of her forbears is Rachel’s African ancestor? And, who is desperate to stop Jayne Sinclair uncovering the truth?
Jayne digs deep into the secrets of the family, buried in the slave trade and the great sugar estates of the Caribbean.
Can she discover the truth hidden in time?
The Christmas Carol
Discovering a Christmas Past to deliver a Christmas Present.
When an antique dealer asks Jayne Sinclair, genealogical investigator, to discover the provenance of a first edition of Charles Dickens’, A Christmas Carol, she is faced with one of the most difficult challenges of her career.
How does she find the family of the mysterious man in the hand-written dedication, when all she has is a name, a place, Victorian Manchester, and a date, December 19, 1843?
She has just three days to uncover the truth before the auction. Even worse, she faces spending her own Christmas alone; her family having decided to visit relatives in Scotland.
Jayne is in a race against time to find the family of the man and the reason why Dickens wrote the dedication. Even more, she has to dig deep within herself to find the true joy of Christmas. A secret discovered by Charles Dickens many years ago.
Can she find the truth behind a Christmas past to deliver a Christmas present?
The Missing Father
Alice Taylor was adopted in 1942 when she was three years old. Her adoptive parents never told her about her birth family and even changed her Christian name. Now, seventy-seven years later, she wants to know the truth.
Who were her birth parents?
How did her mother die?
What happened to her missing father?
Jayne Sinclair, genealogical investigator, has just a few days to discover the truth before she goes for a well-earned break in Australia.
Can she discover the truth hidden in the chaos of the war?
