A four-year-old Mi’kmaq girl goes missing from the blueberry fields of Maine, sparking a mystery that will haunt the survivors, unravel a family, and remain unsolved for nearly fifty years.
July 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later, four-year-old Ruthie, the family’s youngest child, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother, Joe, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come.
In Maine, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret.
For readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman of Light, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time.
The third installment of a bewitching series brimming with charm
and charisma that will make fans of Outlander rejoice! (Woman's
World Magazine). New York Times bestselling author Paula
Brackston's second novel in the Found Things series, Secrets of the
Chocolate House, was called a time-swapping romance [that] will
please fans of Alice Hoffman (Publishers Weekly). Now, Brackston
returns to the Found Things series with a third book, The Garden of
Promises and Lies. As the bustle of the winter holidays in the
Little Shop of Found Things gives way to spring, Xanthe is left to
reflect on the strange events of the past year. While she's tried
to keep her time-traveling talents a secret from those close to
her, she is forced to take responsibility for having inadvertently
transported the dangerous Benedict Fairfax to her own time. Xanthe
comes to see that she must use her skills as a Spinner if she and
Flora are ever to be safe, and turns to the Spinners book for help.
It is then that a beautiful antique wedding dress sings to her.
Realizing the dress and her adversary are connected in some way,
she answers the call. She finds herself in Bradford-on-Avon in
1815, as if she has stepped into a Jane Austen story. Now in
Xanthe's time, Fairfax is threatening Xanthe into helping him with
his evil doings, and demonstrates all too clearly how much damage
he is capable of causing. With Fairfax growing ever more powerful,
Xanthe enlists the help of her boyfriend Liam, taking him back in
time with her. It is a decision that might just ensure she prevails
over her foe, but only by putting her life--and his--on the line.
"A poignant, tender story of families and sisters divided by the
cruelty of political chance-my heart ached for them on every page."
Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network
A city divided. When the Berlin Wall goes up, Karin is on the wrong
side of the city. Overnight, she's trapped under Soviet rule in
unforgiving East Berlin and separated from her twin sister, Jutta.
Two sisters torn apart. Karin and Jutta lead parallel lives for
years, cut off by the Wall. But Karin finds one reason to keep
going: Otto, the man who gives her hope, even amidst the brutal
East German regime. One impossible choice... When Jutta finds a
hidden way through the wall, the twins are reunited. But the Stasi
have eyes everywhere, and soon Karin is faced with a terrible
decision: to flee to the West and be with her sister, or sacrifice
it all to follow her heart? From the USA Today and internationally
