Twelve Urns and a Dozen Roses is a romantic mystery. However, it is much more than this. There is a powerful and timeless love at the heart of the story. There is love between a father and daughter, though long separated and tested to its core. But there is an overarching central mystery woven throughout the story about why the father, Bill Burkhead, disappeared when his cherished daughter, Adelaide, was only seventeen. Twenty-five years later, Adelaide is summoned by a law office to assume duties as executor of an estate. To her surprise, she is executor of her father's estate, consisting of twelve urns of his ashes. Thus begins her quest to follow the clues her dad left for her and discover his ultimate intent in spreading his ashes. As she follows his twelve envelopes of cryptic instructions, a new world opens to her in the America she didn't know existed. Behind the mask of beautiful country and interesting places hides three mysteries that Adelaide learns of along the way. One is an unknown woman. A host of characters flow in and out of her journey and provide pieces of the puzzle while also adding to the intrigue. The suspense slowly builds as the roads fade away behind her. What awaits her when she arrives at the twelfth urn? Will it just be the culmination of a host of human frailties, of mistakes and efforts to right them? Will it bring something good to her life, a sense of meaningless gloom, or will the journey result in nothing more than an end? The only way Adelaide will know if her time and efforts were worth it is by pushing through to the twelfth urn.
