The characters in this story are so beautifully fleshed out, and Lily stole my heart as I eagerly turned each page. Lily gets a new roommate and the secrets of the past come to make sense as the mystery of what happened to her missing sister is revealed. Now, in 1973, Lily has suffered a stroke and is now living in assisted living, unable to speak from the stroke, in a wheelchair, but her memory is sharp as a tack. Lily shares her history in thought and her memories of growing up and marrying her beloved Artie and the children they raised together. Her depression lifts when another new resident manages to shed some light on the 76 year old mystery……Ī heartfelt family saga focusing on Lily – now a 93 year old resident in a nursing home, recanting her earlier life starting back in the late 1800s, growing up with her 2 sisters -one who was mysteriously taken away from home as a young teen with a ‘dreaded sickness’ – never to return. To make what is left of her life happier she thinks about years gone by, and once again wonders about the strange disappearance of her 14 year old sister Violet in 1897.

Her family told her she was going on a little holiday, and although she finds herself still on her beloved Isle of Wight, to her horror she is now living permanently in a residential home at the mercy of Bridie, the ‘horrible’ one.
