Living with the kind Bridie A berdeen and her teenage son\, Harry\, in a charming stone cottage along th e River Thames\, Hazel fills their days with walks and games to distract h er young sister\, including one that she creates for her sister and her si ster alone&mdash\;a fairy tale about a magical land\, a secret place they can escape to that is all their own.
\nBut the unthinkable happens w hen young Flora suddenly vanishes while playing near the banks of the rive r. Shattered\, Hazel blames herself for her sister&rsquo\;s disappearance\ , and she carries that guilt into adulthood as a private burden she feels she deserves.
\nTwenty years later\, Hazel is in London\, ready to m ove on from her job at a cozy rare bookstore to a career at Sotheby&rsquo\ ;s. With a charming boyfriend and her elegantly timeworn Bloomsbury flat\, Hazel&rsquo\;s future seems determined. But her tidy life is turned upsid e down when she unwraps a package containing an illustrated book called&nb sp\;Whisperwood and the River of Stars. Hazel never told a soul about the imaginary world she created just for Flora. Could this book hold the secre ts to Flora&rsquo\;s disappearance? Could it be a sign that her beloved si ster is still alive after all these years?
\nAs Hazel embarks on a f everish quest\, revisiting long-dormant relationships and bravely opening wounds from her past\, her career and future hang in the balance. Spellbin ding and atmospheric\, &ldquo\;this heartrending\, captivating tale of fam ily\, first love\, and fate will sweep you away&rdquo\; (Kristin Harmel\,& nbsp\;New York Times \;bestselling author).
