After assisting to host Tea for Two’s first “Teas all over the world” tasting, Rose Teen approaches the proprietor/cousins, Elaine Make and Jan Blake, in distress. Rose’s mom died recently, and in going through her belongings, she discovered a death certificate-for herself! What could this document mean? What happened when Rose was a calendar year old? The cousins’ search for truth behind this unsettling and gets to much beyond Lancaster, Maine, to a pivotal stage not only in Rose’s existence but also ever sold. Meanwhile, as the town prepares because of its 4th of July event, much is at stake in the selectman election. Can Rose’s dad, Clifton, win and keep the charming character of Lancaster, or will greedy big-city outsider J. Eisley Segouri prevail with guarantees of big-box business? And Jan’s kid, Brian, makes a tantalizing breakthrough that might help the cousins decipher the story of the sapphire band found in among the tearoom’s walls.
