A STORY ABOUT HOW THE PAST CAN REDEEM THE FUTURE...AND HOW THE FUTURE CAN REDEEM THE PAST.
It's all there in the 1920s-era "memory book" that Phoebe Lange finds in her grandmother's library--
birthday cards, party invitations, ticket stubs, snapshots and autographs, a note from a teacher, a graduation invitation...and a death certificate bearing Phoebe Lange's own name.
What do you do when you peer into a 75-year-old scrapbook and into your own future? How do you respond to the diary of a dead woman that tells the story of your own life?
This is the Crossings Book Club edition, and this is a truly remarkable read. Extremely moving and entrancing. You will want to read this one twice!
