Description
The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I'd seen only in stories: Manifest, a town with a rich past and a bright future. Abilene Tucker feels abandoned, sent on a train to live with an old friend for the summer while her father works. She jumps off the train in Manifest, aiming to learn about the boy her father once was. Instead, she finds disappointment, but also excitement when she discovers a hidden cigar box full of mementos, including old letters that mention a spy known as the Rattler. As Abilene delves deeper into Manifest's history, she uncovers secrets and learns to weave her own story into the fabric of the town. A gripping tale of loss and redemption, this book is a powerful exploration of the past and its impact on our lives.
