In search of her sisterβs past, sheβll meet her own future head-on. When artist Liza Cassidy heads for tiny Alcott, New Hampshire, sheβs traveling back in timeβto the last year of her twin sister Laurelβs life. Five years have passed since Laurel died, and Lizaβs grief is finally a dull ache instead of a fresh wound. But an unopened letter has revealed a secret about Laurelβs last months that Liza never imagined: a child.

Such as young Tommyβs enigmatic father, Sheriff Jack McCall, and an extended family of townspeople all touched by Laurelβs presence in their livesβand shattered by her disappearance.

But as she settles into the community her twin called home, she suspects that finishing what Laurel began might be the last gift her sister had given herβ¦
