Synopsis

A Gift in Time is book 1 in Guideposts' Gift Shop Mysteries fiction series.

It's opening day of Sarah Morgan's gifts and curiosities shop, Heavenly Treasures. Not only are her family and friends there to support her new business, but a local television crew is on-site to interview her. Sarah decides her latest acquisition, an antique music box that supposedly belonged to Thomas Edison, is the perfect item to show off on television. They've only heard a few notes in the strange melody when an onlooker claims her great-grandmother used to play that same tune on the piano but was secretive about its origins.

When Sarah discovers a hidden drawer on the box that requires a key to open, she is determined to unlock the box's secrets.

Meanwhile, someone in the Port Huron community is also determined...to see Sarah's business fail.

Can Sarah find out who is behind the troublemaking, or will she be forced to close the doors on her dream forever?
