The Lost Hours -- Karen White

<b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels delivers a gripping tale of family, fate, and forgiveness.</b> <p/>When Piper Mills was twelve, she helped her grandfather bury a box that belonged to her grandmother in the backyard. For twelve years, it remained untouched. <p/> Now a near fatal riding accident has shattered Piper's dreams of Olympic glory. After her grandfather's death, she inherits the house and all its secrets, including a key to a room that doesn't exist--or does it? And after her grandmother is sent away to a nursing home, she remembers the box buried in the backyard. In it are torn pages from a scrapbook, a charm necklace--and a newspaper article from 1939 about the body of an infant found floating in the Savannah River. The necklace's charms tell the story of three friends during the 1930s-- each charm added during the three months each friend had the necklace and recorded her life in the scrapbook. Piper always dismissed her grandmother as not having had a story to tell. And now, too late, Piper finds she might have been wrong.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Karen White<br><b>Publisher:</b> Berkley Books<br><b>Published:</b> 04/07/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.70h x 5.20w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780451226495<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Romantic Times</i> 04/01/2009 pg. 66 - Excellent<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Ka
