Determined to uncover the truth, the siblings plunge into a treasure hunt filled with hidden clues, long-buried secrets, unexpected allies, and obstacles that threaten to stop them at every turn. But as the mystery deepens, the Burgess family faces a more immediate danger. Their beloved ancestral home is running out of time. A waltz lost for two centuries, a race against time, and the unforgettable bond of family--can three ordinary children uncover Chopin's last dance before they lose the place they call home? "I am born under fingers, but I breathe through the heart..." Some treasures are found in hidden compartments. Others are found in people.

It's New Years Eve, you've got your resolutions for the coming 12 months, those resolutions (or any other promise/goal) is what I call a "possible lie". Even if you and others know that you won't accomplish your resolutions, they're still valid (true) until the 12 months run out. Being the Bridget Jones fan that I am, this book will a very similar format. I would like to think of myself as a more modern and younger B.J. In this book I will help myself, help me so that I can help you, help yourself. Hopefully you will enjoy this journal/self-help book à la Bridget Jones. And remember : "The fruit for your OWN hard work is the sweetest" (Deepika Padukone) Kisses, Muné -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those who may not understand the purpose of this book: This book is a non-fiction self help book, where by helping myself reach my own goals I will be able to help you achieve your own goals. I'm making this a book in order to be able to track my journey (development) and the fact that I'm publicly stating that I will accomplish something in a certain time range increases my chances of actually doing it. This book is not about me, it is about us all. I will be posting my own experiences but I truly hope that you will comment and share with me and others your own goals and go through this with me and everyone else. I find that it is easier to succeed if you have support from others and I haven't found that support in anyone I know so I'm turning to my Wattpad family and hoping for the best. If you have a goal you want to accomplish, if you want to support others or if you simply want to follow the journey, I would suggest you read the book and hopefully you will enjoy it.

"Everyone says they'll stay. They don't. So don't promise me forever." "Then stop listening to everyone... and watch me stay." People told her they would stay. They didn't. So Asaki stopped believing in a world where forever was real. She knew better than to trust promises. Then he came. With steady eyes and patience that rivalled her stubbornness, he saw through walls she had so carefully built-and refused to look away. He dosen't understand why she expects him to leave. She dosen't understand why he hasn't. And the longer he stays, the harder it becomes to keep the gates of her heart closed. Because maybe the cruelest lesson isn't that love leaves-but that it might not. And as her silence begins to crack into something dangerously close to hope, Asaki is forced to confront the one thing she's avoided her whole life- What if she deserves to be loved?
