LOVE AND LOSS. Rebecca Mattson's newest book explores death, love, and mystery.

Surrender to the Unknown is a romance novel with a strong historical bent. This debut novel, written by retired Eau Claire schoolteacher Rebecca Mattson, tells the story of public historian Caitlin Sullivan and her sister as they sort through some of their deceased mother’s things. Like opening a can of worms, their findings renew a desire to solve a century-old family mystery. What happened to their great-grandfather’s brother? Surrender to the Unknown is available at The Local Store and the Chippewa Valley Museum.
