When Danny finds an old diary in her Aunty's house she uncovers a family secret,the forbidden love between a girl named Charlotte and her Native American lover.
Even when the secret is very predictable,the story was interesting,but the style,particularly the dialogues need polish.The story goes back to the present at the beginning of every chapter,these pauses don't contribute to the plot and are quite long,they just stop to eat ⬇️⬇️

nanuska_153 like on the Princess Bride but without the comic effect.Some things in the story don't make sense, and although I was interested on the traditions of the Native Americans, I wondered how well researched were they when some general knowledge facts are wrong; for example, on trial the prosecution always goes first. It is one of those books that leave you wondering if the author has an editor.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC
