## About this book

\*\*From the jacket\*\* Lacey Elliot seems to have everything-looks, talent, and a thriving business-but there has always been a great deal missing from her life. For the past thirty years, her mother has staunchly refused to discuss Lacey's absent father or the fact that the two women seem to be totally alone in the world without any relatives. While her mother is recovering from a debilitating illness, a letter arrives from a woman claiming to be Lacey's great-aunt.
