Description

In the somber aftermath of World War I, elderly Charlotte leads her grieving grand-niece, Betsy, back to their ancestral family home on Cherry Street. Amidst the ghosts of the past and the dust of forgotten attics, Charlotte unearths a long-buried secret from her youth during the American Civil War. Through a haunting tale of lost love, a fateful coil of rope, and the persistent song of a mockingbird, Charlotte reveals the hidden scars of her history to help Betsy navigate her own widowhood. This evocative narrative explores the enduring power of hope and the echoes of resilience that connect women across generations and through the turbulence of different eras. It is a stirring reflection on how the legacy of the past can provide a bridge to healing in the present. Comparable works include The Nightingale
