Secret Of The Sassafras - Paperback

by Olivia Sparrow (Author)

She learned at a young age that love and heartache walk hand-in-hand.

Ambitious twenty-three-year-old law student Gemma Ellsworth seems to have it all. Living her best life in New York City, no one would guess that beneath her polished surface, she's riddled with anxiety and guilt.

Raised by a loving Mom and Grandmother, Gemma and her twin spent their childhood running barefoot through the golden fields of rural Indiana until one fateful night left her screaming into a pitiless sky.

Fearful of getting close to anyone again, Gemma resists when her roommate introduces her to Miles. But when she suddenly finds herself smiling, even laughing-it terrifies her.

Torn between fear and longing, Gemma must face her past, only to uncover a long-buried family secret that's been hiding in plain sight her whole life. Her astonishing discovery will lead her down a path of betrayal, confusion, and most surprising of all. . . hope.
