I saw the woods ahead and knew I just had to make it into the thick trees. As I was only a few yards away from freedom, I felt an excruciating pain in my hip, causing me to collapse.

The journal seems to be written for Marley, describing emotions she's certain nobody else in the world could feel but her. Could there be something that the girl in the journal, written nearly a century ago, is trying to tell her? And why does every possible explanation lead back to a single golden locket? Soon, Marley finds that through the locket--and the help of some new, unexpected friends--reaching the past and the girl from the journal isn’t as impossible as she thought.
