Description
Roo Fanshaw's life has been one of hiding. In a family that is never stable, she often needs to disappear quickly. When her parents are murdered, it's her ability to hide that saves her life. A wealthy and eccentric uncle agrees to take her in, and Roo finds herself living on an island with a mysterious past. The old mansion was once a children's tuberculosis sanitarium, but now it's a place of secrets and ghost stories. Roo is determined to uncover the truth about the house and its inhabitants. As she explores the strange and beautiful garden hidden behind one of the rooms, she discovers a tragic secret that has been hidden for years. Inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, Ellen Potter weaves a tale of mystery and self-discovery in this unique and captivating novel.
