Just as Clara‘s mother haunted her for her entire life because she disappeared, Bronwyn Newcastle Fordham also became a mystery and an obsession for Charles Jameson who found Bronwyn‘s satchel inside his father‘s office.

The satchel had made it to London from Bluffton, South Carolina, but how?

It is filled with love, longing, and fulfillment. 5/5

A small Scottish village has secrets. Dorothy has kept one for many years.

Not an uplifting read, but beautifully written, has a pull-you-in storyline, and a main character you don‘t know if you want to feel sorry for or be angry with for the choices she makes.

A moving, thought- provoking debut that may have you thinking about decisions you have made and/or ones you may make. 4/5
