Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Lucy, raised by her grandparents at Pheasant Cottage, is haunted by vague memories of another figure in her life. Determined to uncover the truth, her quest leads her from the familiar confines of her home to unexpected places, including a prison in England and the sunlit shores of Spain. As Lucy delves deeper, she must confront the secrets her grandparents have kept hidden. What will she discover about her past, and how will it change her future? The answers may be more challenging than she ever imagined.
