When five-thousand-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger, and romance.
While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project-fueling rumors that the site is cursed. And she must cope with the presence of her irritating-but irresistible-ex-husband, Jake. Furthermore, when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she is forced to question her own past as well.
A rich, thrilling, suspenseful tale, Birthright follows an inspiring heroine, an intriguing hero, and a cast of fascinating characters whose intertwined lives remind us that there is much more going on under the surface than meets the eye.

A great Nora Roberts novel! It's about a female archaeologist, Callie Dunbrook, who discovers the meaning of bones found on a dig and that she also has a past that needs discovering. I loved it!!

While overseeing the dig, Callie must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project -fueling rumors that the site is cursed.

Interesting. A bit different from her others with the setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains and focus on archaeology.
