In the late 1800s, heiress Emily Chabot rose to prominence in the San Francisco Bay Area as a feminist and philanthropist devoted to humanitarian endeavors.
Her great-granddaughter Lucy inherited much of the Chabot fortune until one day—it vanished.
With many curious twists and turns, the mystery of what happened to Lucy and to the Chabot family legacy is finally revealed in Remembering Lucy.
