The second novel in a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine) New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston’s The Little Shop of Found Things was called “a page-turner that will no doubt leave readers eager for future series installments” (Publishers Weekly). Now, Brackston returns to the Found Things series with its sequel, Secrets of the Chocolate House. After her adventures in the seventeenth century, Xanthe does her best to settle back into the rhythm of life in Marlborough. She tells herself she must forget about Samuel and leave him in the past where he belongs. With the help of her new friends, she does her best to move on, focusing instead on the success of her and Flora’s antique shop. But there are still things waiting to be found, still injustices needing to be put right, still voices whispering to Xanthe from long ago about secrets wanting to be shared. While looking for new stock for the shop, Xanthe hears the song of a copper chocolate pot. Soon after, she has an upsetting vision of Samuel in great danger, compelling her to make another journey to the past. This time she'll meet her most dangerous adversary. This time her ability to travel to the past will be tested. This time she will discover her true destiny. Will that destiny allow her to return home? And will she be able to save Samuel when his own fate seems to be sealed?
Chocolate Journey
""Chocolate Journey"" explores the captivating history of chocolate, tracing its path from a bitter, sacred drink in Mesoamerica to the globally beloved confection it is today. The book reveals how chocolate's story reflects global exchange, cultural adaptations, and economic shifts throughout history. Early chapters detail the religious significance of cacao among the Maya and Aztec, highlighting its role in rituals and social structures, while later sections examine the mechanization of chocolate production during the Industrial Revolution and the ethical implications of labor and sourcing. The book uniquely presents chocolate's evolution as a microcosm of global processes, challenging simplified narratives of commodity history. For example, the book highlights how Europeans changed the original beverage. By drawing on archaeological reports, colonial-era documents, and business records, ""Chocolate Journey"" provides a comprehensive account of chocolate's multifaceted role in society, including current explorations of sustainability and fair trade practices. The book progresses chronologically, guiding readers through distinct phases of chocolate's history, from its ancient origins to the modern industry. This approach allows for a detailed examination of chocolate's cultural, economic, and environmental impacts, making it valuable for those interested in food history, cultural studies, and the global economy.
