"Kit's father always told her he had no family, but his sudden death revealed the truth. Now she has a grandmother she never knew she had-- Agatha Starling-- and an invitation to visit her father's hometown, Rosemont. The town is picture perfect: roses bloom year-round, downtown is straight out of the 1950s, and there's a cute guy to show Kit around. The Starling family is revered, and the Starling women seem to be at the center of all the town's important history. If everything is so great in Rosemont, why did her father leave? And why did he never tell her about it?" -- Adapted from jacket.
