Thea's mother Maggie has told Thea that her grandparents are dead. So when she gets a call from her mother asking her to attend the service for her grandfather, she's a bit of a shock. And when she shows up at the funeral and meets her grandmother, Heidi is also shocked.
Both are in for a bit of an adventure and a long walk down memory lane when Pandora's Box in the form of Heidi's suitcase is opened.
May each of these women, and the grandmother granddaughter relationship be exactly what each of them need right now? And could that relationship be just the bridge to bringing Maggie back to both women?
This touching story is beautifully written moving back-and-forth from World War II era to present time.
The moral of the story - it's never too late!
