Two sisters fulfilling their grandfather’s dying wish uncover decades of secrets in a powerful novel about family, truth, and forgiveness.

Dallas, Dealey Plaza, 1963. Nineteen-year-old Mariah Byrne is following her dream of a career in photography. One moment she’s filled with joy and hope watching the president and Mrs. Kennedy drive past. In the next, the world—and Mariah’s life—is split into before and after. What follows, and the unconventional decisions Mariah makes, will affect her and her family forever.

Sixty years later, sisters Raine and Jessica grieve the death of their grandfather. For both his beloved grand girls, Papa leaves behind a last wish and an unexpected keepsake: the key to their grandmother Mariah’s hope chest. Explore its contents, he writes, and follow where they lead. But what secrets can their family history possibly hold?

Raine and Jessica unite to piece together the mystery of a past they never knew existed. But facts can’t reveal the whole story. With Mariah’s memories fading, the sisters struggle to understand her choices before the truth disappears forever.

Lives well lived

This book is an engrossing family story. It’s sad and difficult to read at times, but moving and tender as well. The author seamlessly entwined past and current time periods to tell the story.

Great family story

I liked the story about family secrets and the consequences through out the generations.
Very believable story lines reflecting different time periods and locations. The tie in with the JFK assassination was a great addition to the story.
I look forward to reading this author again.

Most enjoyable story!

The author takes you immediately to reflect on how unwary witnesses of JFK’s assassination were exposed to life changing trauma. The narrator on this audible makes the fiction come to life. Very good story that is well delivered and will keep you engaged.

Unique historical fiction, extremely compelling

The premise of the story is good. The granddaughters and daughter in the story are annoying, selfish, and privileged, and it was hard to finish the last hour or so

Annoying granddaughters

This was my first book by this author and I was pleasantly surprised by how well this story was told around the JFK assassination, very well done! Highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed

I enjoyed the story, but the recording was poorly done. There were multiple cut off words and it was so very distracting.

So many cut off words

The grand daughters in this story were entitled whiners. People have the right to share personal information or not. It wasn’t their right to know anything. I liked the grandmothers story but could have done without the rest.

Ummmm
