This is a beautifully written story and I really enjoyed it.Sophie Levesque has been taking care of her younger sister Mia since their mother passed away when Mia was quite young. At the time Sophie was eighteen and they had no father to rely on as he'd walked out on them when their mother was alive. Up to date life has been hard for them not only do they have to cope without their parents, but they will also have to grow up much faster than they wanted to. They quickly learn it's not easy and from day to day it's quite a struggle. So when Mark O'Connar an attorney informs them they have inherited a house from a distant relative they can't believe it. At first Sophie thinks this must be a mistake, but she is assured it's not and this house is really theirs. The house is in Battery Point in Hobart and it's been left to them by Clara Catherine Bellinger who is a distant relative. Sophie has never herd of this woman before and wants more information, but unfortunately Mark doesn't have any although he will try to find out what he can.Sophie and Mia pack up their few possessions that they have and Mark takes them to their new home. Once they arrive they are surprised how nice it is. It's fully furnished with beautiful old fashioned furniture. Although it's all very lovely Sophie is still concerned that is a big mistake so she doesn't want to get to comfortable in case they have to move out. Mark assures Sophie he will do he's best to find out information but it may take awhile. Within a short time they start to settle in and Mia enrols in school and starts to make to new friends.Mark wants to make sure that Sophie and Mia have settled into their new home so he drops in for a visit. Sophie's not sure why he's visiting seeing as he has no information on their distant relative. But in a way she is pleased to see him and he does get along really well with Mia. And Mark also know it's not part of he's job, but for some reason he just wants to see them and spend time with them.As time goes on Sophie meets one of her neighbours Zach and as it turns out he knew Clara Bellinger and in time we find out who she is and how she is connected with Sophie and Mia.This was a very enjoyable read and it left me wanting just a little bit more. I highly recommend it.
