Opis

For James Mason and Sarah Feinstein, antiques are more than desirable possessions. They are windows to a history that comes alive under their fingertips and reminders of interesting lives long turned to dust. Selling antiques also provides their living, and James and Sarah seek them out with passion, hunting the sometimes elusive prey with tenacity and perseverance. On an unseasonably warm winter afternoon, Sarah's efforts are rewarded with a once in a lifetime find, a pristine robins-egg blue bucket bench that ultimately proves to be the source piece to a vein of colonial period furniture. This discovery, and James' unexpected inheritance from a distant uncle, provides the seeds for an even greater discovery, one that will ultimately change their lives as they pursue the past from antique to antique and, in the process, become entangled with the history they are chasing.
