This book is two stories in one. Julia in the present, buys an old home and soon finds a skeleton in the garden while working to bring the gardens back to life. The discovery leads her to explore the history of the house which leads her back to letters from the 1800s in the posession of an excentric older gentleman. In the letters, she finds Rose who has lost her sister right after child birth to a terrible infection. Rose fights to save her newborn niece from an unknown stranger trying to take her neice away from her. The story reveiles the horrors of the medical system in the 1800s. The plot was intertwined very nicely and was an enjoyable double story with a surprising conclusion. The historical content was extremely interesting.
