"An epic family story of turmoil and change."
- ANASTASIA SUEN, author of the Eureka! Gold Medal Winner Up! Up! Up! Skyscraper
Fifteen-year old Julia lives in New York with her conservative parents, Peter and Ana Kilmere. Each summer she spends visiting her grandmother who lives on a Caribbean island. Holidays at grandma's is the best for Julia. She loves the beach, grandma's cooking and best of all her stories. There's also a little something going on with her childhood friend, Jonathan.
On her last night on the island, her grandmother tucks her in with an exotic gift that comes with a story. It's a family heirloom from India, a writing box. Julia lives in the digital age and can't imagine any use for it except to hold her trinkets. But an accident on a rainy evening, a late-night announcement, and three dinner guests shatters her ideas of her perfect world. She comes face-to-face with how she thought family, sense of self and happily ever after should look like. Could her grandmother's gift, a relic from the past, help put Julia back together again?
