Are old family secrets best left alone? Kept tucked away behind locked doors?
Lillia doesn't know that beyond the rusted gate is the estate of a wealthy lumber baron. She doesn't know about the ladies who danced in beautiful ball gowns in the elegant mansion on the banks of the Wisconsin River. But she will learn of them.
All she sees now is a dark and mysterious mansion and the forgetful and lonely old man who lives there. But she will meet the others.
Because of a plea for help from the ghost Amelia, and the romantic longings of a new friend Molly, Lillia is pulled into a fabric of imaginings, woven through the decades of two families. Secrets from the past are discovered and revealed. Long ago memories return.
But will unlocking the doors, finding the hidden spaces, and retrieving the memories help find the one person Lillia and Molly are looking for? Or only bring more sadness and heartache?
