Publisher's Synopsis
Although her mind is still sharp, Elizabeth's eyes have failed. No longer able to linger over her beloved books or gaze at the paintings that move her spirit, she fills the void with music and memories of her family, especially her beloved twin sister, Emily. But when her late father's journals are discovered after an accident, the past suddenly becomes all too present. With the help of Morgan, a delinquent teenager performing community service at her senior home, Elizabeth goes through the diaries, a journey through time that brings the two women closer together. Entry by entry, these unlikely friends are drawn deep into a world far removed from their own, and they begin to realize that their fates are connected in ways they never dreamed. While the discovery of Morgan's connection to Elizabeth sheds light onto her own family mysteries, the faded pages of the journals also shake the foundation of everything Elizabeth thinks she knows, bringing secrets of the past into the light.
