Everyone is invited except Angie, the girl from the cottage next door. The day will end in tragedy, a punishment for a family's secrets and lies. In 2013, Fox's granddaughter Lisa, seeks the truth about the past. Who is this Angie her mother speaks of: "the girl who broke all our hearts?" Why do locals call Fox's hotel the "palace of tears?"

With twist upon twist, this lush, strange mystery withholds its shocking truth to the very end.
