This is a story of four generations of women and written in alternate chapters of past and present. In the 1930's a six year girl disappears, the youngest and favorite of three sisters, and the mother never gets over the loss. She lives with her sister in the same summer house for the rest of her life waiting for the child to come home.
Sixty years later as the remaining sister is dying, she writes a journal of what really happened that terrible summer and leaves it and the lake house to her grand niece Justine and her two young daughters. Justine is a single mom and eager to leave her dominating boyfriend drives from San Diego to northern Minnesota only to find a dilapidated run down house in disrepair in the god forsaken wilderness miles from a small town.
It is a devastating and tragic tale of abuse and injustice and one I will not forget.
