This was a book suggested for me, and wasn't originally something I probably would have picked up for myself.

I'm so glad that I did! I loved the characters and atmosphere and slight magical nature of it.

While I didn't think anything was surprising or unpredictable, I don't think it was trying to be that. So it was perfect for what it was.

I listened to this on audio, but now I think I need a copy for my personal library.

After her grandmother dies, June Farrow is plagued by visions of random events: a man smoking, a red barn, a horse. She fears she's going crazy -- just like her grandmother and mother. She wishes she could get gain comfort from her grandmother, but the only thing she has to remember her by is a mysterious locket.  That's until she gets a postcard in the mail. In it, is a picture of June as an infant and her parents. The problem? It's dated 1926.
