Description
Ellie's family didn't like Grandma Aurelia -- no one had even seen the cranky old woman since she showed up at the funeral for Ellie's mom five years ago. Ellie hadn't given her much thought -- at least not until the estranged woman left her all of Hart Farm. Not only did Ellie inherit the Vermont farmhouse where her mother had spent summers as a girl, she got everything in it -- including an old suitcase full of diaries that her grandmother expressly requested she read.
But Grandma Aurelia had never been generous, and Ellie's father thinks there is a downside to the gift. When Ellie delves into the diaries of her ancestors, she begins to uncover a dark family secret -- and she realizes that the key to understanding the present can be hidden in the past.
