Description:
A mysterious and poignant coming of age story with the same classic feel as A Little Princess and The Secret Garden.
A Watty's 2014 Talk of the Town Award winner and now a Wattpad Featured story!
In 1958, a tragic accident steals away Jess's parents - and everything else she's ever known. With a cold and controlling uncle the only family she has left, she's taken far from her home in the big city. Brought to live on the rural family estate with her equally distant older cousin, she struggles to adjust to a new life of loneliness and quiet isolation.
While exploring the woods surrounding her home, she stumbles upon a mysterious boy. Desperate for a friend, she's instantly drawn to him, but he's deeply distrustful and wants nothing to do with her. Sneaking off to see him, she works hard to break through his walls and slowly gains his trust. But as their bond grows from friendship into something more, so do the secrets swirling around Jess. How far will she have to go to protect the boy she's fallen in love with? Or will the weight of secrets crush them both before she can escape her uncle's control?
