The Odd DUck Society
Jessamy Aubertine is too much for her university classmates, too little for her overstressed mum, and nothing in between. Then a mysterious letter signed by Jane Austen brings her back to her family’s fading tea shop and a pair of unlikely comrades. Will they find the letter writer—and perhaps discover themselves along the way? Or will their friendship fade with The Muses?

about rachel
Rachel Leitch writes authentic stories of self-discovery that are free of hurtful stereotypes and harsh content. Usually, this takes the form of young adult historicals with a dash of adventure or a spark of magic. She lives her own adventure in northern Indiana, with her momma, three sisters, two brothers, and a dog who thinks he’s the hero of her story. When she’s not hidden away writing, she’s trying to fit all her reads on her shelf in a somewhat organized manner, obsessing over character arcs, drinking chai, daydreaming at the piano, or teaching students to be just as bookish as she is. In all her adventures, she discovers more about the Father of Lights. |
