I liked this story much more than I thought I would. Emily is an interesting character whose life is turned upside down when her husband leaves her for another woman. Yet as she visits "Aunt" Bee she discovers a past that helps her heal. During her visit to the island where she spent so many happy days as a child she discovers an intriguing diary. When she asks questions of those she knows they say she must read the diary to its end and discover its secrets for herself. So she does but what she discovers is beyond her imagination.

This was an enjoyable tale and I have read other Jio books. They all have the same pattern which becomes a bit jaded after awhile. However, when I leave enough time between them the stories seem fresh and new. My advice is to pick up a book by this talented writer once a year or so and enjoy the story for what it is.
