The Encrypted Journals

In the summer of 1985, long estranged, thirty-something twin sisters who are very different from each other set off on a quest to honor their father's last wishes. Julia Alexander is a teacher of ancient history, and Jennifer Trent is a travel writer for a magazine. Their eccentric father, who is a famed professor of archaeology and anthropology, dies and leaves encrypted clues in his excavation site journals they must solve that lead to ancient ruins in England, Italy, and Egypt to find and save hidden valuable artifacts. The Encrypted Journals is about the twin sisters' travels to ancient archaeological sites and the challenging, mysterious, sometimes dangerous, funny, and heartwarming experiences they are compelled to share. In the end, will they fulfill their father's last wishes, save his legacy, and maybe discover something worth much more?
