The Map of Lost Hearts

A Signature Seashell Key Mystery

When a vintage suitcase marked D. Brightwell is discovered in a long-abandoned storage locker, Tessa Brightwell is drawn into a mystery that rewrites her family's past. Inside the suitcase: a yellowed map of Seashell Key, with certain buildings circled in red. The first stop? The Seaglass Bungalow.

Joined by her skeptical cousin Sage, who arrives from New York with more questions than patience, Tessa begins to uncover a side of her grandmother Delilah that no one in town ever spoke about. Guestbooks with missing names, whispered stories of those who vanished, and a string of cryptic clues lead them on a heartfelt journey through the island’s quiet corners.

But as questions mount, so do the whispers—was Delilah helping people find love and second chances... or helping them disappear?

With a little help from her friends, including Javi, Dr. Cash, Phil, Ben, and Constance, Tessa begins to see that Delilah’s story is one of hope, not harm. And just as the mystery draws to a close, a surprise at the town’s marina celebration hints that the next mystery is already waiting.

Set against the golden light of Florida’s Gulf Coast and filled with secrets, heart, and humor, The Map of Lost Hearts is a tribute to new beginnings, chosen families, and the stories we leave behind.
