About the Book

Book 14 in Secrets of Grandma’s Attic

With the 70th anniversary of the Korean War coming up, Canton’s historical society and library team up to honor the occasion and many local veterans. Amy Allen is especially eager to visit the portrait of her great-uncle Raymond, who served and died as a helicopter pilot in the war. However, things take a shocking turn when Amy and her sister, Tracy, are alerted that someone vandalized the portrait of their uncle! What possible motive could someone have for committing such a disrespectful deed?

As Amy dives into her great-uncle’s past, she gathers bits and pieces of Raymond’s life. And soon one thing becomes clear. They really don’t know much about him…and neither did Grandma Pearl. What secrets and truths will Amy uncover as she tries to learn who her uncle was and why someone wants to tarnish his memory decades later?
