About the Book

Simone Fields comes to Singapore, Michigan in 1840. Her inheritance is stolen under strange circumstances during a massive blizzard. Now, in 2023, she seeks the help of Annie Prescott and the two work together to solve the mystery.

Book Synopsis

Not all ghost towns are in the old west. At one time, Singapore, Michigan sat on the eastern edge of Lake Michigan, across the water from Chicago. Simone Fields lived there until 1873, when she and her husband were forced to leave the milling town.

It is now 2023 and Simone cannot rest in peace. A grave injustice was done almost two centuries ago and she enlists the help of Annie Prescott to help her find answers. Annie is now living in Simone's Singapore-built home which was moved to Saugatuck, Michigan in 1873.

Readers will enjoy Simone's life story in this engaging and charming tale of two women, living in different centuries, coming together to unravel a 180-year-old mystery.

Some of the characters in this book really lived in Singapore during those years; others are fictional. When the settlement was inhabited, it was home to approximately 300 residents who lived through the worst blizzard imaginable. They saw a bank scandal and a sad and untimely end to their beloved community.

Singapore was only on the map for 35 years but to the residents who lived there, it would always be home.
