When Edie Gardner's life in New York comes crumbling down, her grandmother Adele "Punk" Cheramie urges
her to return to Bayou du Chêne, a tiny hamlet in coastal Mississippi where Edie spent many happy summers
growing up. Punk and her three closest friends introduce Edie to the Trove, a fascinating gallery and antique
shop that seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
The Trove's proprietor, Jason Toussaint, has a gift for reading his customers' needs. He gives Edie a Victorian
parlor game called Confessions, which asks players a series of ever-more-personal questions. It seems like
harmless fun at first. But the game has a way of uncovering secrets--including a heartbreaking disappearance
that has haunted one of the players for decades.
Banding together, these women are determined to mend each other's hurts, encourage each other's dreams,
and find the answers that will bring healing.
