4.2/5

I could not put this book down from page one. This story jumps from around the years of 1913, 1975 and 2005. Each year represents a person tied to the beginning story of a little 4 year old girl alone and left by a mysterious lady on the docks of a ship bound for Australia. The mysterious lady tells her to be quiet and hide until she returns. The lady known as the , Authoress, never returns. The little girl is left with just a white suitcase filled with a few cherished items and one is a fairy tale book that is the link to her life. She is found by a dock worker taken to his home and wife where they keep her and name her Nell. Nell will grow up happy only to find out the truth of her abandonment and sets out to find the lady. Her granddaughter, Cassandra, will be the one to finally solve the mystery of the fairy tale book and her grandmother's family in England.
