An engrossing and moving story set in World War I and modern times. Story of two young women, separated by a century but mysteriously connected by a tiny key that helps them find their identity and listen to their hearts.
Lizzie, a perfect daughter, student and sister in 2018 throws away her life for a risky relationship with a charismatic but traitorous and narcissistic football player, Brandon who hides his predatory intention.
In the parallel narrative, her great grand-mother, Evie in 1914 finds her dreams shattered as her beloved Tom Windridge, leaves the family’s farm to serve in the World War I. A key connects them during this horrendous time. Combining factual information and historical details with human emotions, the writer has created a masterpiece for not only young adults but adults too.
