Two women, a century apart, are bound by a haunting secret aboard a legendary steamboat.
As wedding coordinator for the 100-year-old steamboat The Belle of Louisville, Devyn Asbury takes pride in seeing others’ dreams come true, even though her engagement had sunk like a diamond ring to the bottom of the Ohio River. When the Belle becomes a finalist in the Timeless Wedding Venue contest, Devyn endeavors to secure the prestigious title with hopes to reclaim some of her professional dreams. What she hadn’t planned on was Chase Jones showing up with a mysterious photo from the 1920s.
A century earlier, Hattie Louis is as untamable as the rivers that raised her. As the adopted daughter of a steamboat captain, her duties range from the entertainment to cook. When strange incidents occur aboard the boat, Hattie’s determined to discover the truth. Even if that means getting under First Mate Jack Marshall’s handsome skin.
Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.

Google BooksMy Review 🖤
I am in LOVE!!! Rachel Scott McDaniel knocked this novel out of the water! A dual timeline pulls you into a mystery like none I've ever read, introducing you to a historical steamboat and two fictional women who's lives are forever changed aboard it.
Hattie is the "admiral" of The Belle of Louisville, or the Idlewild as it was known at the time, her whole life absorbed by this vessel. Hattie is a rare gem during this time of the 1920's. Strong, independent, and self-assured, and aspiring to be the first woman captain of the steamboat, Hattie is a character that I respect and admire.
Devyn is a modern day wedding planner who has had her heart smashed in the most public was imaginable, and is now focusing on advancing her career, until a mystery lands in her hands, and her life turns into a beautiful chaos. Devyn is another character I admire, and love that two strong women drove this entire narrative.
I love that The Belle of Louisville is an actual steamboat, that is still working to this day. Oh, if that steamboat could talk! I could see a story like Hattie and Devyn's being an actual tale from this historical vessel, and love that though it is fiction it has an authentic, true to life feel. I even had this dreamy haze that came over me while I was reading Hattie's story, and it was so cool!
I immensely enjoyed Undercurrent of Secrets and can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the Doors to the Past series!
