Her mother ran a hotel. Her mother also ran a secret.
1932, Riverbend, Mississippi. Clara Webb returns home to bury her mother and sell a crumbling riverfront hotel – the Calamity Hotel, once a glittering stop for travelling performers. But when she discovers a hidden sub-basement, she finds more than dust and old wine racks.
Inside: a leather diary, a stack of letters, and proof that her quiet mother ran an underground railroad for women fleeing abuse.
The diary belongs to Lilith St. Clair, a silent-film star who vanished in 1926. And the man who wants the hotel demolished – a wealthy river baron named Truett Parnell – may be the one who made her disappear.
With the help of a sharp-tongued kitchen girl named Holly and a cache of long-buried evidence, Clara must decide: sell the hotel and run, or risk everything to finish what her mother started – and finally uncover what happened to Lilith St. Clair.
The Calamity Hotel is a story of inheritance, courage, and the ordinary women who become heroes when no one is watching.
