Some journeys take you further than you imagined.

From the streets of New York to the heart of Paris, one clue opens the door to a past James Wright never knew.

A young archaeologist follows traces of a mysterious hatter and secrets buried within his own family. Each discovery brings him closer to the truth — and to questions that cannot be answered by history alone. James Wright: The Hatter Trail brings mystery and adventure together with friendship, love, loss and faith.
