Publisher's Synopsis
Arthur Pepper gets up every day at 7:30 a.m. He eats his breakfast, waters his plant, Frederica, and does not speak to anyone unless it is absolutely necessary. Until something disrupts his routine. On the first anniversary of his beloved wife Miriam's death, he finally sorts through her wardrobe and finds a glistening charm bracelet that he has never seen before. Upon examination, Arthur finds a telephone number on the underside of a gold elephant. Uncharacteristically, he picks up the phone. And so begins Arthur's quest - charm by charm, from York to Paris to India - as he seeks to uncover Miriam's secret life before they were married. Along the way, he will find hope, healing, and self-discovery in the most unexpected places.
