In this stunning new novel, Ellen Marie Wiseman merges
the past and present into a haunting story about the nature of
love and loyalty--and the lengths we will go to protect those
who need us most. Ten years ago, Izzy Stone's mother fatally
shot her father while he slept. Devastated by her mother's
apparent insanity, Izzy, now seventeen, refuses to visit her in
prison. But her new foster parents, employees at the local
museum, have enlisted Izzy's help in cataloging items at a
long-shuttered state asylum. There, amid piles of abandoned
belongings, Izzy discovers a stack of unopened letters, a
decades-old journal, and a window into her own past.
Illuminating and provocative, What She Left Behind is a
masterful novel about the yearning to belong--and the mysteries
that can belie even the most ordinary life.
Characters: 49. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
