Keepsakes
This is a story of family. It is also a treasury of stories and poems from a bewildering number of writers.
Part ghost story, part anthology, Keepsakes is ultimately about the relationships between five very different women related by blood and a family talent. How old must one be before one's mother stops trying to run one's life?

Perfect for adult lovers of short stories. All the tales were born from a challenge set by Sally Odgers to create a collection of stories inspired by a chosen keepsake. Each individual tale is intricately woven into a tapestry of memories that spans five generations beginning with Lavender Merriwether. Fun and thought provoking, Keepsakes is a anthology to share amongst family.
