Inspired by true events in Sofia Grant's powerfully moving new novel a young woman peels back the layers of her family's history discovering a tragedy in the past that explains so much of the present. This unforgettable story is one of hope healing and the discovery of truth.
Sometimes the untold stories of the past are the ones we need to hear...
When Katie Garrett gets the unexpected news that she's received an inheritance from the grandmother she hardly knew it couldn't have come at a better time. She flees Boston—and her increasingly estranged husband—and travels to rural Texas.
There she's greeted by her distant cousin Scarlett. Friendly flamboyant eternally optimistic Scarlett couldn't be more different from sensible Katie. And as they begin the task of sorting through their grandmother's possessions they discover letters and photographs that uncover the hidden truths about their shared history and the long-forgotten tragedy of the New London school explosion of 1937 that binds them.
