I loved every single character I met in this book! An antiques dealer and an elderly heiress become unlikely friends (with arguments but grudging respect) as Claire and Hanna help the staff/townspeople find answers they long for. 

Hanna is such a beautiful soul. She has a soft heart for orphans and helps them in amazing ways. Claire has a hard time at first breaking through Hanna's stubbornness but then she eventually gives as good as she gets. The journals Claire found and the way they worked through them to give some answers was nice. I felt bad for what it did to Clyde but it's outside forces that are to blame. I could see this story continuing in some way but if it's a single book, it's great too.
