Publisher's Synopsis
When Hannah's parents die, she is sent to live with her grandmother. Hannah soon learns to keep her mouth shut and her opinions to herself; this is not the loving home she grew up in.
Soon, Hannah begins walking along the beach each morning, escaping for a few hours each day.
An infirm navy man next door provides the friendship she craves, and soon she has mere weeks before her twenty-first birthday, when she comes of age. Then, she will be free to leave her guardian and make her own way.
Except, Hannah was told there was no will, and that her parents left her penniless. But if that's true, then why is there a locked cabinet in Grandmother's study? And why did Grandmother suddenly stop wanting to marry her off?
When it is discovered that Hannah does have an inheritance, it seems her future is set. Even better, it seems that there is a young man or two willing to share it with her.
Meanwhile, other truths come out - long lost loves and new ones, friendships and betrayals. Suddenly, there are too many choices to make, and too little time to make them.
