About this ebook
Alterations seamstress Elsie Marr is working late on Briar Glen's ceremonial parade marshal coat when a loose blue button leads her to a century-old petition sewn into the lining. The document may prove the town's market square was dedicated for public use, just as the council prepares to approve a private redevelopment contract before Founders' Day. Elsie brings the fragile find to Theo Calder, a cautious Gazette reporter who refuses to print a word until they can prove the record's chain of custody. With days left, they trace tailor marks, ledgers, old notices, missing minutes, and descendants' statements while pressure builds from officials who want the deal to move forward. As Elsie prepares to speak publicly despite the stutter she has long hidden behind her work, Theo must decide whether protecting his paper and his sister's security is worth softening the truth. To save the square, they will have to trust the evidence, face the town, and choose honesty with each other.
