"A collection of lost books holds the clues to her family's legacy...and her future Hope Sparrow has mastered the art of outrunning her tragic past. Never stay anywhere too long. Never allow anyone control over her life again. Coming to Wanishin Falls in search of her family's history already feels too risky. But somewhere in the towering stacks of this dusty old shop are the books that hold Hope's last ties to her late mother--and to a rumored family treasure that could help her start over. Only, the bookshop is in shambles, and the older owner is in the beginning stages of dementia and can't remember where the books lie. To find the last links to the loved ones she lost, Hope must stay and accept help from the townsfolk to locate the treasured volumes. Each secret she uncovers brings her closer to understanding where she came from. But the longer she stays in the quaint town, the more people find their way into the cracks in her heart. And letting them in may be the greatest risk of all"-- Provided by publisher.
