“The Story She Left Behind is a captivating story, loosely inspired by a true character. It is one part mystery and one part a quest to reconcile a painful past. In 1927, eight-year-old Clara Harrington’s world is shattered when her beloved mother, a celebrated prodigy of a writer, simply vanishes. The mystery of her disappearance is never solved, leaving Clara with a permanent longing. Three decades later, Clara receives a call from a man living in London who claims to have discovered a long-lost set of papers belonging to her still famous mother. So begins this beautifully written tale which invites readers into a world where the allure of secrets and the longing for maternal bonds converge. Added bonus – the ever-inspiring Beatrix Potter makes an appearance.”
