"Ella's determination to find out what was in the box her beloved Poppy had hidden takes her back in time. But not everyone is happy with her snooping and wants her to let things go. I was so into this story, I couldn't stop reading it. When I did, I couldn't wait to get back to it. A very well-written story of love and redemption. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book."
