Mattie Gokey’s summer job at the ritzy Glenmore Hotel was just supposed to be an opportunity to earn some much-needed money (and to get off her family’s farm). But when one of the hotel’s guests, Grace Brown, entrusts her with a pile of letters…then turns up dead!...Mattie’s summer suddenly gets a whole lot more interesting.
Set in 1906, A Northern Light weaves together the stories of two women trapped by the culture of their time. But Grace’s death is not in vain. Instead, it inspires Mattie to embrace her dreams—and to take steps to ensure that her future is in no one’s hands but her own.
