Ellie's family didn't like Grandma Aurelia—no one had even seen the cranky old woman since she showed up at the funeral for Ellie's mom five years ago. Ellie hadn't given her much thought—at least not until the estranged woman left her all of Hart Farm. Not only did Ellie inherit the Vermont farmhouse where her mother had spent summers as a girl, she got everything in it—including an old suitcase full of diaries that her grandmother expressly requested she read.

But Grandma Aurelia had never been generous, and Ellie's father thinks there is a downside to the gift. When Ellie delves into the diaries of her ancestors, she begins to uncover a dark family secret—and she realizes that the key to understanding the present can be hidden in the past.
