The Yellow Lantern
The Yellow Lantern — True Colors Series
Fiction Based on Strange-But-True History
In 1824, Josephine Clayton is considered dead by everyone in her Massachusetts village — especially the doctor she has assisted for several months. Yet she is still very much alive.
After the doctor’s illegal dealings with a body snatcher to obtain her body, Josephine awakens, positioned as the next corpse for his research. To cover up his crime, the doctor tries to kill her — but Josephine begs to be spared. They strike a deal: she will leave her village and work at a distant cotton mill, all the while awaiting her true mission — posing as a mourner to help the body snatcher procure her replacement.
At the mill, Josephine is praised for her medical remedies among the other female workers, drawing the attention of the handsome factory manager, Braham Taylor. But when Braham’s own loved one becomes the prey for the next grave robbing, Josie must make a choice that could put her dark past behind her — or steal away the promise of any future at all.
What price will Josie pay for love when her secrets begin to unravel?
