Wanda's Review: This is storytelling at its best. This was the first book I read by this author and I was hooked. Sarah Jio effortlessly spins two stories together that are separated by nearly a century. A captivating storyline you'll not soon forget that combines both a love story and mystery with much emotion. The beautifully written poignant ending will tug at your heart. A superlative novel by a talented author - don't miss this one! My Rating is 5 stars.
