Synopsis

When a gas explosion takes her husband and their restaurant in one terrible night, Maria Franks has nothing left to hold onto in San Francisco — and nowhere left to go. So she loads up the last of what her family owns and drives east with her two kids, chasing nothing more than a change of scenery.

What she finds is Rosemont: a half-forgotten town where the porches are swept but the doors don't open, where old-timers pass each other on the sidewalk without a word, and where something happened forty years ago that no one will talk about.

Her ten-year-old daughter, Gracie, isn't interested in staying quiet. Chasing a rumor about a rose garden that once made this town famous, she stumbles into a mystery the whole town has spent four decades trying to bury — a murder, a wrongful accusation, and a secret that has kept neighbors from speaking to each other since 1973.

With nothing but stubborn hope and a handful of garden tools, Gracie sets out to do what grown-ups gave up on long ago: bring Rosemont back to life. But the truth buried beneath those roses is more dangerous than she knows — and digging it up might cost her family everything they came here to find.

A story about grief, second chances, and the quiet, stubborn power of a child who refuses to believe a broken thing can't be made beautiful again.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Forty years ago, ROSEMONT was a thriving town with high potential. The heartbeat of the town was a famous rose garden that provided the world with largest and most pristine roses. After the murder of the most beloved member and owner of the garden, Rose Hale, accusations flew, people turned on each other and the town dwindled to a few residents who barely acknowledged each others existence. That is, until ten year old Gracie Franks and her family became stranded within it’s borders. After hearing about the towns beautiful past, Gracie decides to find the rose garden and restore it and the town to its former glory. During her adventure, she uncovers the town’s ugly past but becomes instrumental in providing hope and strength. This is a story of tragedy, forgiveness and restoration. And it all begins in a town called ROSEMONT. "I couldn't put this book down! I fell in love with the characters and it had me guessing till the very end! I highly recommend this book." Joanne
