Beyond Haviland - Paperback

by Deborah Oswald (Author)

In the turbulent aftermath of World War I, Haviland Seminary for Girls hides more secrets than ever-and Jay McKenna is determined to uncover them.

When Jay returns to Haviland in 1919, her hopes for a fresh start are dashed as a fellow student forces her out of her dorm room, relegating her to the eerie attic of Fowler House. Sharing the cramped space with the enigmatic new girl, Olive Moody, Jay is unsettled by Olive's secretive nighttime escapades and cryptic demeanor, sparking both curiosity and suspicion.

As Jay contends with the new dynamics inside Haviland's walls, an unexpected encounter with political activist Ruth Lefkowitz leads her on a new and dangerous path. Tasked with infiltrating a factory in her hometown of Brewster, Jay uncovers a conspiracy stretching from Manhattan's settlement houses to the very heart of her own past. Alongside her steadfast friend Florence, she must brave a network of betrayals, lies, and treacherous allegiances that could endanger her future-and perhaps her life.

Rich in historical intrigue and suspense, Beyond Haviland is a powerful tale of resilience, courage, and the search for truth in a world haunted by secrets.
