A forgotten packet of papers from 1963 sends Cynthia on an unexpected journey into the lives of the people who shaped her - Pilgrims, presidents, inventors, artists, and icons whose stories stretch across centuries. From the Mayflower to modern America, she uncovers a lineage woven with courage, creativity, resilience, and wonder.
Part memoir and part historical discovery, Where the Past Reaches Forward reveals how the echoes of our ancestors live within us - and how finding their stories can transform our own. This is a book for anyone who has ever wondered where they come from, and what legacies might be waiting to be found.
