Adorable and heartwarming. The kind of story I wish I could tell of my parents’ lives and the kind of way I wish my own grief for them could’ve unfolded.

The story begins with describing Arthur Pepper's strictly regimented life after his wife passes. After a year has passed, he begins clearing out her clothes from the closet, he finds a charm bracelet hidden in one of her boots. He decides to unravel it's mysteries. While this begins as a quest to find out about his wife's past, Mr. Pepper comes to realizations about his present life. It becomes a journey of self-discovery and the lesson you're never too old for a second chance. It's a beautifully written novel.
