Annika Whistler wakes up surrounded by spring blossoms, singing birds, and not a single clue about who she is. All she has is a blue ribbon tied around her wrist and a single memory of a promise made on a tree swing, a pair of eyes the color of hazelnuts and milk chocolate. Jason Alder is a young boy traveling to the countryside for the summer to stay with his ill-tempered grandfather and many estranged relatives after a sudden, terrible event in his home city forced him to return to the infamous childhood residence of his mother. It seems almost too easy for them to fall in love, lost and young and hopeful. What happens when Annika starts to piece together her memories?
