Told in Patti Callahan Henry’s lyrical, enchanting prose, The Story She Left Behind is a captivating novel of mystery and family legacy that captures the profound longing for a mother and the evergreen allure of secrets.
Eight-year-old Clara Harrington’s magical childhood was shattered in 1927 when her mother, renowned author, Bronwyn Newcastle Fordham, disappeared off the coast of South Carolina. In 1952, when Clara is raising her own daughter, she hears from a stranger in London who claims to have discovered a handwritten dictionary of the secret language her mother invented as a twelve-year-old prodigy. In spite of her skepticism, Clara is compelled by the tragedy of her mother’s vanishing to travel to England with her daughter, seeking to uncover the truth about her mother and the story she left behind.
