Heirlooms By Sandra Byrd

Answering a woman's desperate call for help, Navy widow Helen Devries opens her Whidbey Island home to Choi Eunhee. As they bond over common losses and a delicate, potentially devastating secret, their friendship spans the rest of their lives.

After losing her mother, Cassidy Quinn spent her childhood summers with her gran, Helen, at her farmhouse, discovering a passion she hopes will bloom into a career. But after Helen passes, Cassidy learns her home and garden are in disrepair. Worse, a debt threatens her inheritence. Needing help, Cassidy reaches out to Nick, her former love, despite the complicated emotions he brings to her life.

Cassidy inherits both the farmhouse and a task from Helen: ask Grace Kim-Eunhee's granddaughter-to help sort through the contents of a hope chest in the attic. The two women dig into the past, unearthing their understanding of their grandmothers and inspires the courage to take risks in their own lives.

Set in both modern and mid-century Washington State, this story of four women intertwines across generations to explore the secrets we keep, the love we pass down and the heirlooms we inherit from a well-lived life.
