When Harry receives a mysterious delivery in the middle of the night, he never expects a trunk full of journals documenting his parents lives, but that's exactly what he finds on his doorstep. An old friend of James and Lily wants him to know what his parents were like, what living through the first war did to the teens who took on the brunt without looking back. It won't bring back the dead, but it will, perhaps, help him understand the way they were.
