Romilly Kemp's idyllic childhood is turned upside down when her father begins to feature her in his beautifully illustrated books. As she becomes the star of these stories, strangers start to appear at their doorstep, eager to catch a glimpse of the 'Kemp Treasure Girl'. But when her father falls ill, Romilly must delve deeper into the books - and her past - to uncover the truth about her family's secrets.
