Kate Darling was raised by her mother June, a celebrated ballerina, and her grandma, Evie. Kate always had the feeling that Evie wasn't always happy having to share her daughter with her grand-daughter. Kate adored her mom and when June was killed in a plane accident she is heart-broken. Evie is all she has left and Kate makes regular visits to the nursing home to visit. Evie has many days when she is totally out of it and sometimes she has moments of lucidity. On one of her visits Evie wants to give something to Kate. They are letters and programs from June's career. Kate takes them home but it is a while before she can look at them. She wants to talk to Evie about them but she waits too long. When Evie dies Kate goes into a deep depression. When she finally begins to look through the box she discovers a picture. At first she thinks it is a picture of her mother when she was young. But as she studies it she realizes it was from a different era. It had to be June's biological mother who gave her up when she was just a baby. This picture leads Kate on a quest to find out more about this woman when she finds letters in the box that she is sure were written by this unknown woman. A very entertaining book!
