Before Sally left her hometown of Green Bay for the new job, her Aunt Violet, dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s, asked an unusual favor. "Go to the edge of town, by the water where the lakes join. Look for manicured woods. The spring flowers will look like blue carpeting. If he’s still there, tell him. . . I’ve never forgotten.'" An unusual request from her Aunt Violet leads Sally Gordon to an old acquaintance and to a very old house with a mysterious past. Determined and resourceful, Sally embarks on an historic restoration and finds friendship and more in this touching tale.
