Tess has a secret - one which is about to turn her life upside-down. The only person she can confide in is her beloved grandmother. But Iris is slipping further away each day. 
 
Then chance brings a stranger into Tess's life. Gigi's heart goes out to Tess, knowing what it's like to feel alone, and an unlikely friendship blossoms. 
 
But something is holding Tess back - until she discovers Iris has a secret of her own. A suitcase of letters from another time, the missing pieces of a life she never shared. Could the letters hold the answers that Tess thought were lost for ever?
