Thirty-two year old Rachel Shattuck has not returned to Snow Island since she attended her mothers funeral. A year later, in the summer of 1965, she remains frightened of what she will confront at home: her mothers absence, her fathers stern nature, and the unrealized promise of her own life now that she is divorced.

When she returns to Snow Island to care for her father after he is injured in an accident, she discovers her mothers diaries, hidden in the house where she died a year earlier. What Rachel learns through reading her mothers diary and becoming an islander once again reveals the truth about her familys history and sets her own troubled life on a new course.; Signed by Author
