Abstract:

In this book, the author tells the story of a woman's homecoming, a family secret, and the old house that holds the key to the true legacy of a family. At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home from Japan, only to find herself haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who was once her passionate first love, lead her into the unexpected. Late one night, as she paces the hallways of her family's rambling lakeside house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects that first appear to be useless curiosities. But soon they reveal a deeper and more complex family past. As Lucy discovers and explores the traces of her lineage from an heirloom tapestry and dusty political tracts to a web of allusions depicted in stained glass windows throughout upstate New York, the family story she has always known is shattered. Lucy's quest for the truth reconfigures her family's history, links her to a unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yields dramatic insights that embolden her to live freely. With surprises at every turn, this is a saga in which every element emerges as a carefully place piece of the puzzle.

Tras una estancia en Japón, Lucy Jarrett regresa a la casa junto al lago donde creció en un momento crítico de su vida. En su hogar, Lucy constata que aún siguen persiguiéndola algunos interrogantes sobre la misteriosa muerte de su padre, ocurrida diez años atrás. Sin embargo, por muy profundos que estén enterrados, los secretos del pasado no pueden permanecer ocultos eternamente. Una noche Lucy descubre por casualidad una serie de objetos que en un principio no parecen ser más que curiosidades, pero que poco a poco se van desvelando como piezas de un intrigante rompecabezas muy ligado a su historia familiar. Las indagaciones sobre las huellas del pasado llevarán a Lucy a hacer asombrosos descubrimientos sobre su familia y sobre ella misma que le llevarán a replantearse su vida y vivirla al máximo.
