If there is a god, why has he - or she - taken away what and who she loves? Perhaps some help lies inside a mysterious box left behind by her dying grandfather. Convinced he is trying to send her one final message, she believes this box remains her last hope. What secrets will its contents reveal?Eliza Mills takes the reader on a journey of life and death gently - and humorously - depositing us at the door of self-discovery.
