Abby's mother died when she was 14 and she has been living with her grandparents. She has always wanted to know who her father is.  Her mother refused to tell her and her grandmother said she did not know. Abby finds a picture in her grandmother's drawer that changes everything. There is a picture with an inscription on the back, but no name. Abby knows it's her dad and she sets out to find him. The family has been cursed due to betrayal, secrets, and lies. This is a good book. I wanted more.

Dual timelines and finding old family stories are some of my favorites in a book. I loved the telling of Evelyn’s story alongside Abby searching for answers. This book was truly beautiful.
