About the Author
E.D. Hackett is a speech-pathologist by day and a writer by night. She writes with one foot in the women's fiction genre and one foot in romance. She writes about family dynamics, self-love, and self-discovery. She hopes you fall in love with her characters as hard as she fell in love writing them.
Personally, Edy loves to read women's fiction novels but watch romantic comedies. She prefers fall over spring, ice cream over cake, and walking over running.
She lives in New England with her husband and dreams about one day living on the water.
"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect."
--Anaïs Nin
Lynette Waller, a divorced English professor, finds herself face
to face with the demons of her past after her estranged mother
passes away. Standing in her childhood home for the first time
in decades, she learns of her mother’s past mistakes and regret
through a magic suitcase, a medium, and her equally estranged
daughter, Ruby.
Ruby Franklin left home with a note and a suitcase years before
to pursue her dream of making it big as a model. An
unexpected phone call sends her to Maine for her beloved
grandmother’s passing. Emotionally unprepared for a reunion,
Ruby finds herself standing face to face with her mother.
The magic suitcase allows Lynette and Ruby to see into the
matriarch’s past, but what lessons do her secrets hold? As they
search for answers, they find that sometimes the truth is hiding
in plain sight.
With the help of Mema’s memories, can this mother-daughter
duo heal old wounds and find the love buried within their past?
Family secrets never stay buried for
long…
