Kylee Grant has reached age twelve with no knowledge of her family’s secret—a secret which has kept her from any contact with her maternal grandparents. But now Grandma Kidder has died, and instead of the fun summer plans Kylee had made with her friends, she now must accompany her mother to Washington’s Long Beach peninsula to settle her grandma’s estate. From what her mother says, it might take all summer to sort through everything in the house and decide what to do with it all.

As she explores the attic of the country home where her mother grew up, though, she gets to know a grandma who loved her even though she’d never met Kylee. What’s more, Kylee uncovers the secrets that have kept the family apart. What she finds in Grandma’s attic draws her whole family into a deeper kind of love than they have ever known.
