Lee's life is full of turmoil. Her husband left her for another woman, and she's struggling to make ends meet. But even more troubling for Lee is the memory of her mother's death. Lee has always been close to her mother's spirit, and she longs for her mother to tell her what happened to her in the moments before she died.

One day, Lee comes across a box of family linen that her mother had been hiding from her.; 8vo; 272 pages.
