The smallest items can hold centuries of secrets.

Inara Erickson is exploring her deceased aunt's island estate when she finds an elaborately stitched piece of fabric hidden in the house. As she peels back layer upon layer of the secrets it holds, Inara's life becomes interwoven with that of Mei Lein, a young Chinese girl mysteriously driven from her home a century before. Through the stories Mei Lein tells in silk, Inara uncovers a tragic truth that will shake her family to its core - and force her to make an impossible choice.

Inspired by true events, Kelli Estes' brilliant and atmospheric debut serves as a poignant tale of two women determined to do the right thing and the power of our own stories.

This was a lovely listen, the narrator was perfect for the story.
It brought to life a terrible part of history that I hadn’t heard about before. I enjoyed the crossover over from present day to the past and I looked forward to going to bed every evening so I could listen to more.

Really enjoyable historical fiction

Really enjoyed listening to this story. The vision of the silk and it's story was brought to life.

An interesting story

Great narration and a beautiful story. I appreciated the historical context and the unknown facts of the Exclusion Act which negatively impacted the Chinese community at the time in which most of the story was set.
A little too Mills & Boon in places in its dialogue, but nonetheless beautiful story telling.
Highly recommended.

A gripping story well told

I didn't know about the exclusion act and was shocked to find out about this unsavoury historical truth. The story is extremely well written and although fictional it is one of the best I have heard in a long time.

The author explains how she took several historical stories to write this book but I regret that she chose a town that defended the Chinese as example of what happened elsewhere in the States.
