Opis

Ivy has spent many years taking care of her two grandmothers, so when each one passes away, she finds herself lost and left with no purpose in life. At the encouragement of her best friend, she begins to write the story of her great-grandmother, Ruby, who died at the age of 102. Ruby had a fascinating life surrounding The Great Depression and Prohibition, which she had always kept private, until shortly before her death when she decided the time was right to tell her story. In the hopes of encouraging her great-granddaughter to seek a love of her own, and to begin the career as an author that she had set aside, she relates a romance and a life that captures Ivy's imagination, taking her to another time and place. When Ivy meets Fox, a man who seems to fit the bill as the man of her dreams, she questions whether she is moving too quickly. Does she really know who he is? Can she allow herself to fall completely and totally in love for the first time in her life? If so, will her love be as passionate as the one her beloved grandmother had? And more importantly can she count on him to be completely honest, trustworthy, and loyal? The only way to find out is to give herself without reservation, but will that be a mistake? As Ruby's story unwinds in the 1920s and '30s, Ivy's story is just beginning. The two narratives will be entwined in a way that seems impossible, as a thread develops that will tie the characters together forever.
