Her father's new wife is threatened by Beatrice and is driving a wedge into the family. Five generations later, in the same house, Christmas promises to be a miserable time. Cass's mother died of cancer and her father has remarried a woman with an attitude that's very hard to take. Miraculously, when Cass discovers a star brooch belonging to Beatrice, her visions lead her to Beatrice's diary. Is she really able to communicate with Beatrice across time?

Review:

'This carefully researched story illuminates the past and demonstrates that while history changes, the human emotions that bind us and our families, remain very much the same.' --- Carousel
