When Mattie is entrusted with a bundle of letters, she fully intends to burn them just as Grace Brown, the young woman who gave them to her, has asked. But when Grace is found drowned the next day in Big Moose Lake, Mattie finds that it is not as easy to destroy them as she had at first thought.

And as Mattie reads the letters, a riveting story emerges which begins to interweave with her own hopes and ambitions for the future.

Based on a real murder at the turn of the century, this outstanding debut novel is powerful and moving, surprising and compelling.
