Taken By Storm is the sixth book in the Gift Shop Mysteries fiction series.
When Sarah Morgan and her aunt Nessie attend a lecture about unsolved mysteries in Port Huron, they are fascinated by the tale of a historical kidnapping. The lecturer, Beth Mansfield, is a descendant of Catherine, the woman who escaped her captors. The next day, Sarah is surprised when Beth shows up at Heavenly Presents to continue the story. The dying Catherine entrusted her daughter with a necklace to be given to someone named Rose, but neither Catherine's daughter nor any of her descendants were able to find the mysterious recipient. Can Sarah finally solve this long-standing mystery?
Meanwhile, Sarah is committed to serving her community and asks to have an Abundant Blessings Cupboard placed outside her shop. It isn't long until the small food pantry is vandalized. Why would anyone target something that helps others? Sarah is determined to find the person responsible for this unconscionable crime.
