Publisher Description

From beloved author Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller about shattering loss and shocking discovery—set in a small town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains…

When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.

While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project—fueling rumors that the site is cursed. She must cope with the presence of her irritatingbut irresistibleex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well...

"NR was good ... There was an element of mystery and it revolves around Callie a rational, logical archeologist. Mother and daughter are passionate about the work although their works are poles apart. Its about the finding mystery layer after layer however in the end I felt there was a little hasty ending. Although the mystery , romance and the pinch of adventure kept me guessing. Overall I liked the book I should say its better than the last NR book I read Angels fall."

    " I was skeptical to read Nora Roberts at first because I thought it would be too much romance and too predictable. But not so! (Well, OK, it can be predictable)Nora Roberts writes great stories and great characters. Birthright was one of the first books of hers I read and is still one of my favorites. You won't regret it! "

    " Talk about angst. This book held no surprises. The plot was easy to follow and oh so sad. I'm sure from the character's point of view it was all a shock. From the reader's point of view, I felt like I was watching a train wreck in Iowa. It's a plain as day to see the trains are going to collide and the collateral damage will be large. I've never had children so I can't speak to how upsetting it is to lose a child but most especially to have one stolen. This book broke my heart a little. I rate it a 3.5 star. But since I round down, it is only a 3. I do recommend this book to people who want to feel a bit more emotion in their romance. "

    " I absolutely LOVED the relationship between Callie and Jake. Their chemistry was SO magnetic and together their interaction with each other was just hilarious. Reading this you could actually visualize a REAL LIFE couple going through the scenarios. What I also loved was the job that Callie did. The fact that she would dig up sites to find all these ancient things was HIGHLY interesting. Reading her passion for it almost made ME want to do the same thing! "

    " I liked all the things Roberts had going on in this one. We have the dig, family secrets, people being killed and of course the H/h trying to work through their past issues. I really liked how the h handled the parent problem. It was done well, with sensitivity and respect. Of course the fire between the H/h was just good fun! I love fiery words and hot tempers. "
