***

Everything you leave behind tells a story . . .

Heather Morgan doesn’t remember her childhood. She doesn’t want to.

For Heather’s mother, every possession was intimately connected to a memory so she could never let anything go. Her extreme hoarding cast the whole family’s life into disarray.

So when Heather discovers a secret about her past, about the time she disappeared, she knows there’s only one place she’ll find answers: amidst her mother’s hoard.

As Heather uncovers objects and her own memories, will the truth set her free? Or will she discover she’s more like her mother than she ever thought possible?
