The Little Shop of Found Things: A Novel (Found Things, 1)

Xanthe and her mother, Flora, leave London to start a new life, taking over an antique shop in the historic English town of Marlborough. Xanthe has a unique gift: an affinity with certain antiques, where touching them allows her to sense the past they hold and the stories they contain. When she forms an intense connection with a beautiful silver chatelaine, she is transported back to the seventeenth century, where the object originated. Upon her return, she is confronted by a ghost, who charges her with putting right an injustice from the past to save an innocent girl's life, threatening to take Flora's life if she fails. While working to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, Xanthe meets architect Samuel Appleby, who may be the person to help her succeed, and who may also be the reason she finds herself unable to leave the past behind.
