Oh how I love Kate Morton! Her multigenerational stories take us back and forth in time to reveal pieces to a mystery that never disappoint. 
 At sixteen, Laural Nicolson witnessed her mother do something unexplainable; Something they never spoke of again. But as Laurel's mother reaches the end of her life and begins to speak about events from earlier times, Laurel tries to unravel the mystery of what she saw. Through recounting Laurel's days as a young woman and then her mother Dorothy's, as well as journal entries and first hand accounts of those involved, the story is pieced together with a final bittersweet twist at the end. 
 I only wish that Morton released a new book every year!
