For fourteen-year-old Ellie, life is forever changed. The home her family shares in Charleston, South Carolina, feels different now. It's missing the one piece that held them all together: their mother. Her father, Mathew, thinks moving to his hometown, Charlotte, North Carolina, will mend their broken hearts. But little does he know; it only raises more questions. During the move, Ellie discovers an unopened box given to her and her sisters by their late mother. Inside lie secrets yet to be revealed. An estranged woman who refuses to be called grandmother and a principal who doesn't understand boundaries add to Ellie's challenges. As Ellie grapples with the mysterious box, she unravels a tangled past and soon finds that the threads are frayed. Everything she wants to hold together could break at any second.
