When twelve-year-old Lily sits alone on a dock feeling invisible, her grandmother Evelyn joins her and begins sharing stories from a lifetime ago.
Growing up in rural America during the early twentieth century, Evelyn learned what it felt like to have her feelings dismissed, her voice overlooked, and her dreams quietly pushed aside. Through stories of childhood, family, hardship, resilience, and self-discovery, she reveals the lessons that shaped her life and the wisdom she wishes someone had shared with her when she was young.
As the seasons pass and their conversations deepen, Lily begins to see that the struggles she faces are not so different from those of generations before her. Together, grandmother and granddaughter discover that while times may change, the need to be heard, valued, and loved remains the same.
A heartfelt historical novel about family, healing, courage, and finding your voice.
