Chasing Henry Walters
It wasn't a story she was imagining. It was a story she was remembering.
Elizabeth Bitty Bowman thought she'd already lived the life she was going to live. She moves to Serenity Sound, a retirement community outside Wilmington, North Carolina, expecting million-dollar water views. What she finds instead is a Harris Teeter in her backyard and an unlikely circle of neighbors who become something closer to family, including Graham, a restoration architect whose quiet steadiness feels less like beginning than remembering.
But something else is unsettled at Serenity Sound. The swans on the canal are dying, and beneath the manicured lawns, an old pattern is stirring, one that reaches back much further than anyone realizes.
Then Bitty begins dreaming of a man she's never met, Henry Walters, who died in 1931. His memories feel more vivid, more hers, than her own.
As the visions deepen, Bitty and her circle are drawn into a search that spans from the historic grounds of Airlie Gardens to a Baltimore museum, uncovering a hidden connection between Henry, a Gilded Age dynasty, and the very land beneath their feet.
Chasing Henry Walters is a story about what the past is still waiting to tell us, if we're finally ready to listen.
