Synopsis

When Piper Mills was twelve, she helped her grandfather bury a box that belonged to her grandmother in the backyard. For twelve years, it remained untouched. Now a near fatal riding accident has shattered Piper’s dreams of Olympic glory. After her grandfather’s death, she inherits the house and all its secrets, including a key to a room that doesn’t exist—or does it? And after her grandmother is sent away to a nursing home, she remembers the box buried in the backyard. In it are torn pages from a scrapbook, a charm necklace—and a newspaper article from 1929 about the body of an infant found floating in the Savannah River. The necklace’s charms tell the story of three friends during the 1920s— each charm added during the three months each friend had the necklace and recorded her life in the scrapbook. Piper always dismissed her grandmother as not having had a story to tell. And now, too late, Piper finds she might have been wrong.

Goodreads review by Mary on September 27, 2009

This is basically a Harlequin Romance with a slightly more interesting plotline and very little passion. I got impatient with how none of the main characters would just spit it out instead of drawing out the Big Secret until I wanted to chuck the book across the room. I don't enjoy people who seem t......more

Goodreads review by Barrie on July 04, 2013

This book was so melodramatic, reading it was exhausting. The hot tears! The hand wringing! The low whispers! The knowing smiles! The haunted looks! The author writes in such detail about certain things (like the main character's horse injury and trees at the horse farm) and then glosses over major......more

Goodreads review by Liepa on February 28, 2024

Nors per daug melodramatiška, bet  visai maloniai susiskaitė. Su šiai autorei būdinga didele intriga ir netikėtais siužeto posūkiais. Man labai tiko paįvairinimui ir poilsiui.......more

I think more people might enjoy this a lot more than I did. Parts of it were very good! I felt it was way longer than it should have been. Maybe it was my mood?......more

Goodreads review by C. (Comment, never msg). on December 09, 2022

After decades searching for ‘paranormal mystery’ that is not evil, Karen White’s “Tradd Street” series became a favourite! In 2009, seven months before its sequel, “The Lost Hours” was published. This unrelated novel does not compare. I disliked Piper Mills was annoyed by numerous unrealistic charac......more
