Keepsakes

by Jan Hemby

When a demolition crew stumbles upon suspicious items in Margaret Gates's abandoned apartment, the police come to her, seeking answers. Margaret fears that her tempestuous past is resurfacing, but to her surprise, the items don't belong to her. The question Whose are they? Could the answer be connected to the vivid dreams she's been having? Desperate for answers, Margaret turns to her lifelong friend, Julia Burch, who has her own mystery to unravel. Julia's discovery of her parents' old answering machine in storage leads her down a path of secrets and questions. What happens next reveals that the past isn't finished with either of them . . . yet.
In this suspenseful conclusion to the Gates Manor Series, the past and the present collide as Julia and Margaret realize the answers they seek are hidden in plain sight and need to be uncovered sooner rather than later.
Except for one, that is. Some secrets-and keepsakes-should remain under lock and key forever.
