Thirty-year-old Gustavia Browne, orphaned and alone, moves from England to Maine to write the biography of her aloof cousin Ada—hoping to unlock secrets about her father's family. There she meets charming attorney Paul Camden, discovers a stolen inheritance, and reads her grandmother's heartbreaking diaries of orphanage life and faith. As a childhood promise to her long-lost friend Freddie resurfaces, a chain of tender 'coincidences' leads Gustavia toward family, love, and the restored gospel. A woman who dresses in clothing from bygone eras is following the same wistful longing that will lead her back to a childhood promise—and a lost family. A stolen inheritance, a hidden diary, and a childhood vow collide in a sweeping romance across two continents and three generations. Freddie Finch has been searching for Gustavia his whole life—but can't tell her who he really is until she chooses him for himself. A grandmother's diary reveals a hidden faith, a tragic murder, and a family sealing that only her granddaughter can complete. Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint woman who loves clean, faith-affirming romance with historical depth, family-history themes, and a satisfying multi-generational reunion.
