The Novel Adventures of Natalie Daughtry

An April 2025 Reading Is a Lifestyle Subscription Book Pick

In pursuit of a rare book, will Natalie and Mason find each other again?

With a now empty nest and her twenty-plus-year marriage on the brink of collapse, Natalie Daughtry is wondering what comes next. When the mysterious Caspar tells her and her friends about their next mission, she’s ready for this adventurous distraction. Natalie’s expertise in historical literature and identifying forgeries pair well with Everleigh Wheaton’s ability to solve puzzles and Brooke Sumner’s knowledge of antiques. Their talents will be put to the test with their assignment to track down a rumored handwritten and illustrated copy of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures Under Ground.

What she never expected, however, was for her husband to join the search. Working alongside Mason feels a bit like she’s tumbled down the rabbit hole herself.

With mounting questions over this mission, the team finds itself on shaky ground. Natalie and Mason soon realize they need far more personal answers–ones that will shape the future of their marriage–as they confront the misunderstandings that drove them apart over the years. This search goes beyond locating a classic fairytale. Will they rediscover the love that once held the pages of their life together?

The second book in Susan L. Tuttle’s Treasures of Halstead Manor series will intrigue fans of adventure movies like National Treasure and authors like Christina Suzann Nelson and Becky Wade.
