This is the story of Kay, a young woman who hasn't aged or changed physically in 75 years, and her search for answers. She takes work at an old-fashioned inn and the pieces finally begin to come together.With beautiful writing, this story drew me in and had me turning pages. I was as eager as Kay to find the truth behind her transformation to forever young and her search for a forgotten lost love.The sweetness and quiet dignity of Kay really drew me to her as a character. She manages to feature the wholesome values of the 1930 with a touch of modern feminism that gives her a determined spirit.  I’ve read hundreds of books, but few I can say this about: Kay is the sort of character you’d want your daughter or niece to be like. She’s independent, smart, and compassionate.The secondary characters were all well-developed with individual personalities. And though the plot moved a little slowly and had no big impressive action chapters, it held my interest to the neatly tied end.
