Secrets from Grandma's Attic #18
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nothing Gold Can Stay is book #18 in the Secrets of Grandma’s Attic fiction series.
As Amy Allen and her children are leaving a new, pirate-themed restaurant, she spots a weathered board with familiar black letters spelling out River Dan. When she takes a closer look, she realizes the scrawl reminds her of the long-lost boat her grandparents owned. Someone “borrowed” the boat from them back in the fifties and never returned it. Amy is certain this broken sign must have come from River Dancer.
Grandma Pearl’s diary entries, newspaper clippings, and a Tiny Tears doll lead Amy and her sister, Tracy, on a search for information about Violet Conway, the woman who claimed to have found a pirate treasure map in 1953 and was last seen the day the boat disappeared. As Amy begins to search for Violet, she can’t help but wonder: Did Violet find the treasure and sail away, or are her fate and River Dancer’s intermixed in a more tragic way?

A pirate's map and a missing nanny are part of this latest in treasures found in Grandma Pearl's attic. Loved the scripture applications and meaning behind the title.
Some chapters include Pearl's journal entries from 1955.
