      Odrzuciła rodzinne dziedzictwo. Teraz szuka sposobu, aby je ocalić. Lizzy Moon chciała odciąć się od rodzinnego domu i siedliska zwanego Moon Girl Farm. Przed ośmioma laty porzuciła ziemię, którą uprawiało dziewięć pokoleń obdarzonych niezwykłym darem uzdrowicielek, uciekając przed przekazywanymi szeptem plotkami i pogłoskami o dziwnym dziedzictwie rodu Moon. Lecz gdy umiera jej ukochana babka Althea, Lizzy musi wrócić i zmierzyć się z tragedią sprzed lat: nierozwiązaną zagadką morderstwa dwóch młodych dziewcząt i okrutnymi oskarżeniami, które prześladowały Altheę aż do śmierci. Młoda kobieta pragnie sprzedać farmę i powrócić do życia w Nowym Jorku, dopóki nie trafia w jej ręce dziennik, który sprawia, że Lizzy odkrywa własne szczególne talenty. Czy uda się jej oczyścić imię swojej babki, kiedy podąży śladami kobiet z rodu Moon?

      An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls. Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needles and thread. It's said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline's world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget. Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline's old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory's and Soline's lives begin to surface. It's clear that they were destined to meet―and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

      A novel about the magical lure of books and summoning the courage to rewrite our stories by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings and The Last of the Moon Girls. Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer's affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books' previous owners--an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance. With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers' tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story--and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.
