Mariner's Compass

Jacob Chandler knew everything about

Benni Harper, and in his house were pieces of her life: a hand-carved

statue of her childhood horse and a scrapbook of newspaper clippings

that covered her work, her marriages, and the death of her first

husband. And when Jacob Chandler died, he left his home in Morro Bay and

all its contents to Benni - the only stipulation being that Benni had

to stay in the house, alone, for two weeks before the inheritance became

hers. But Benni Harper has never even heard of Jacob Chandler. Now she

has two weeks to follow his scavenger-hunt set of clues to discover

whether he is her guardian angel or personal demon. The waters are rough

and the direction unclear as she finds herself setting a course to a

time and a place in her own past - a place Benni Harper and Jacob

Chandler both knew as home...
