"Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book."
The New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels delivers a gripping tale of family, fate, and forgiveness.
When Piper Mills was twelve, she helped her grandfather bury a box that belonged to her grandmother in the backyard. For twelve years, it remained untouched.
Now a near fatal riding accident has shattered Piper€s dreams of Olympic glory. After her grandfather€s death, she inherits the house and all its secrets, including a key to a room that doesn€t exist€"or does it? And after her grandmother is sent away to a nursing home, she remembers the box buried in the backyard. In it are torn pages from a scrapbook, a charm necklace€"and a newspaper article from 1939 about the body of an infant found floating in the Savannah River. The necklace€s charms tell the story of three friends during the 1930s€" each charm added during the three months each friend had the necklace and recorded her life in the scrapbook. Piper always dismissed her grandmother as not having had a story to tell. And now, too late, Piper finds she might have been wrong.
