Their journey to discern who these people were and how they came to be buried on their Main Line property reveals that it is never too late to confront family secrets. And with these bones are more secrets that the sisters could have dreamed: murder, affairs, blackmail and international treasures.

In this, the second novel in her Main Line mystery series, Barbara K. Clement invites readers to venture beyond the Main Line to some of the world’s most exotic locales. From the punishing tundra of Siberia to the enchanting and romantic environs of Paris, two exceptional women will be tested mentally, physically, and morally…as both women revisit their pasts in an effort to find their way home.

Jessica Rawlins returns to confront the ghosts of a past long hidden and leave her comfortable suburban lifestyle behind. Reluctant at first to re-enter a clandestine existence, she soon realizes how much of herself has been buried with the past–essentially all that makes her feel intelligent, resilient, and passionate.

Meanwhile, socialite Charlotte Fallowell also wrestles with her past and current identities. Forced to face secrets buried deep within the generations of her family, Charlotte learns that even her bucolic Main Line sanctuary cannot protect her from the hazards hidden in her Russian heritage. Facing the latest rumors and gossip about her husband and family at a social meeting, she alone is left to find the answers that will lead out of danger and back to safety.

After venturing so far into the world and the past, can they return to their Main Line lives?

With the Rich and Mighty: Emlen Etting of Philadelphia
by Kenneth C. Kaleta, PhD

Emlen Etting, the artist who created Phoenix Rising installed on the North Plaza of Philadelphia's City Hall, is one of the city's well-kept secrets. A painter, filmmaker, illustrator, translator, author, and teacher, Etting never rose to the national attention that his rich body of work deserved. Although Etting was a minimalist in his art, he and his wife Gloria Braggiotti were excessive socialites living with art as their passion and glamorous society life as their avocation. The couple’s home became a gathering place for the rich and famous of Philadelphia and beyond. With the Rich and Mighty: Emlen Etting of Philadelphia reveals the history and inspiration behind this influential figure’s work; and through Etting’s own art, life, and words, it provides a glimpse into the private world of a local legend whose art is central to the landscape of Philadelphia.
