The smallest items can hold centuries of secrets.
Inara Erickson is exploring her deceased aunt's island estate when she finds an elaborately stitched piece of fabric hidden in the house. As she peels back layer upon layer of the secrets it holds, Inara's life becomes interwoven with that of Mei Lein, a young Chinese girl mysteriously driven from her home a century before. Through the stories Mei Lein tells in silk, Inara uncovers a tragic truth that will shake her family to its core - and force her to make an impossible choice.
Inspired by true events, Kelli Estes' brilliant and atmospheric debut serves as a poignant tale of two women determined to do the right thing and the power of our own stories.

In this historical novel it follows Inara Erickson who has just inherited an estate on Orca Island called Rothesay (near Seattle, Washington) from her Aunt Dahlia, and Mei Lien, who lived in the late 1800's over a 100 years ago. Their lives are unknowingly connected until Inara finds a family story on a hidden embroidered sleeve in the house that she just inherited. Here is where the connection, historical mystery, and the secrets begin.
When Inara takes the sleeve to a Chinese professor at the local university, the sleeve and Inara immediately catch the professor's attention.
This book will touch your heart! Just read it.
Awesome! Fabulous! On a scale of 1 - 5 it’s a 10

This powerful moving story switches back and forth between the late 1890s and the present day, and although at first the storylines seem separate, they weave together beautifully.
Wonderful, but sad and powerful story
