I’m embarrassed to admit I let this book sit on my bookshelf for to long! I loved it!
Olivia Carson has not seen her younger sister, Lily, since Lily ran away at the age of sixteen after finding out she was pregnant. . Lily refused to have an abortion or put her child up for adoption. The only communication Olivia has had with Lily are the letters Lily sends once a year with a photo of her son Josh.
One day Olivia is shocked to see Josh whose thirteen now arrive at her door but with no Lily. Josh who appears to have suffered a fall in the past struggles to communicate verbally. So he’s unable to tell Olivia what happened or where his mother might be. Josh draws pictures and his drawings hold clues to the mystery of where Lily might be. Olivia is determined to uncover the mystery that surrounds Lily. The story alternates between the past and present and what happened to lead Lily leaving. Their parents had a volatile relationship, and as Olivia digs into their past she soon realizes maybe her memories aren’t they way she actually saw them as a child, and how many secrets did her parents actually hide?
