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.
