Publisher's Synopsis
Journalist Melina Knight longs to know why her grandmother, Mariam, so rarely speaks about her family and childhood. When Mariam dies suddenly, she inherits her grandmother's journal and handwritten letters stashed in a wooden spice box, cryptic treasures written in Armenian, Mariam's mother tongue. On a spring break in Cyprus, she meets a young Armenian man who agrees to act as translator and begins to unearth a family secret that changes her life and lays the ghosts of her grandmother's turbulent past to rest.
