About this series
When Harriet Peters came to Boston four years ago, the Robinson family took her in like one of their own, and
Harriet became closer to Lizzie Robinson than her own siblings. Now Lizzie is deathly sick, failing quickly just like
several others in her family have done over the past few years. How can so many in one family die from the same
mysterious illness? Harriet doesn’t have answers, but she is determined to help the family, bringing in a new-to-theneighborhood doctor, Michael Wheaton.
As Harriet and Michael close in on the answer, putting their own lives at risk, can the cause be found before anyone
else dies?
