Cordelia Underwood by Van Reid

Cordelia Underwood by Van Reid

Step back in time to Portland, Maine, in 1896. When the young, beautiful, redheaded Cordelia Underwood inherits a parcel of land from her seafaring uncle, it sets in motion a chain of events that leads to the unearthing of a family secret two centuries old. Cordelia soon crosses paths with Mister Tobias Walton and finds herself aided in her quest by the warmhearted gentleman, who has never heard of an adventure he isn't eager to join. Together with his hapless trio of friends, the Moosepath League, they embark on an entertaining and audacious adventure. Teeming with Cupid's arrows flying hither and yon, apparitions, a kidnapping, smuggling, and thievery, and filled with wonderment, romance, and adventure, Cordelia Underwood is a splendid yarn of the old-fashioned variety.

Since the 1800s, Van Reid's family has lived in Edgecomb, Maine. Reid worked as a bookseller for many years and now lives with his wife and children in a home that he and his brother built on their family's land. He also wrote a series of novels set in the late 1800s on the coast of Maine about the Moosepath League.
