Emma never looks forward to her birthday because her maam, Rebeccah, is always sad. The sadness stems from the fact that Rebeccah's sister died the day Emma was born. Rebeccah withheld the truth from Emma that her sister was really Emma's birth mother.
The only thing Emma looks forward to are the little trinkets that are left on her mother's gravestone. The last one was a locket with her mother's picture inside. It was like looking at herself in the mirror, she resembled her mother that much.
Finding out who put the trinkets there became Emma's mission. Levi, who has loved Emma for forever, told her he saw a man in a truck leave the trinket. Levi helped Emma find the man and find out who he was to her.
Emma's actions set her family into an uproar, but it also gave Emma a chance to speak her mind about how she'd been treated all her life--as though she didn't quite belong. So now her life stretches in front of her with her being more confused than ever before about who she is and where she belongs.
This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a life that is a puzzle.
