Someone stole three Thanksgiving turkeys... but they were never the real target.

As Thanksgiving arrives in Willow Creek, Ethel Sue expects a week filled with pie, family, and preparations for the annual Senior Center feast. Instead, she and the Bridge Ladies are drawn into another mystery when three prize turkeys vanish from Frank Johnson's farm.

The missing birds lead them to an abandoned founder's barn, where they uncover something far more puzzling than stolen poultry.

A weathered wooden box.

Inside are an old photograph, a brass key, and a handwritten note addressed to only four people...

To the Bridge Ladies.

Following the clues takes Ethel Sue and her friends through forgotten church records, long-buried family stories, and a piece of Willow Creek's history that someone has gone to great lengths to preserve. But when rumors begin spreading that the beloved Senior Center could be torn down to make way for a boutique hotel, solving the mystery becomes more important than anyone imagined.

Some secrets are hidden for a reason.

Others are waiting for the right people to remember them.

Filled with memorable characters, laugh-out-loud moments, cozy small-town charm, Thanksgiving traditions, and gentle reminders of God's faithfulness, The Hidden Legacy is a heartwarming Christian cozy mystery about friendship, faith, and the legacy one life can leave behind.
