Tildy Barrows is the Head Curator at the Belva Curtis LeFarge Library, a beautiful Beaux Art building nestled in the heart of bustling San Francisco. For Tildy, the Bel isn’t just her workplace, it’s her home. Left alone after the deaths of both her father and mother, and with no other relatives to connect with, Tildy finds comfort in her routine at the Bel and camaraderie with her coworkers. But all that changes when she discovers a secret room containing two intricately wrought doll houses connected not only to Belva Curtis LeFarge, but to Tildy’s late mother, Meg. With funding for the Bel running out, and a mystery to unravel, Tildy embarks on a journey not only across the country, but across time itself to save her beloved Bel from bankruptcy and discover secrets from her own past that could change everything. Hooper expertly jumps from past to present, across two world wars and several generations to deliver this masterfully crafted story of hope and second chances. Perfect for lovers of historical fiction and character-driven story lines alike; fans of Tracy Chevalier, Kerri Maher, and Phaedra Patrick will adore this heartfelt novel.
