Sweet Tea & the Silver Locket

Jennifer never expected a tarnished silver locket to upend her quiet life at the Sweet Tea Stand. When she discovers the century-old heirloom hidden beneath a loose floorboard, the engraved date pulls her into a long-buried family secret that someone is desperate to keep hidden.

The locket soon draws dangerous attention. A local historian aggressively demands it, warnings come from the sheriff, and a break-in attempt at the stand makes it clear the past refuses to stay buried. With help from friends and a living Sanders descendant, Jennifer follows the locket’s clues through old maps, forest trails, and a hidden cellar that holds the truth about a 1920s disappearance.

As threats escalate and the real motive behind the vanished Sanders family comes to light, Jennifer must decide how far she’ll go to uncover what was stolen a hundred years ago. The locket’s final secret could restore a family’s legacy—or cost her everything.

In the heart of Sweetgum Ridge, old scandals collide with present danger, and one woman’s determination may finally bring justice to those who were run out of town.
