Summary:

In her rambling Victorian house, surrounded by heirloom gardens, fifty-two-year-old Kate Harding faces her second winter since the untimely death of her husband. As she begins to read a collection of letters recently retrieved from the attic of her grandparents' house, Kate discovers that what to a child seemed a serene and blissful marriage was in fact founded on a tragic event. As Kate's eyes clear to the truth of the past, a new tragedy unfolds, and her own house, filled with the shared detritus of marriage and motherhood, becomes the refuge where Kate can connect the strands of her unraveled life.
