A Well Written Mystery

The Publisher says:

 "Decades of Loss, an Unsolved Mystery, 
and a Rift Spanning Three Generations

Hazel DeFord is a woman haunted by her past. While berry picking in a blackberry thicket in 1943, ten-year old Hazel momentarily turns her back on her three-year old sister Maggie and the young girl disappears.

Almost seventy years later, the mystery remains unsolved and the secret guilt Hazel carries has alienated her from her daughter Diane, who can’t understand her mother’s overprotectiveness and near paranoia. While Diane resents her mother’s inexplicable eccentricities, her daughter Meghan—a cold case agent—cherishes her grandmother’s lavish attention and affection.
 
When a traffic accident forces Meghan to take a six-week leave-of-absence to recover, all three generations of DeFord women find themselves unexpectedly under the same roof. Meghan knows she will have to act as a mediator between the two headstrong and contentious women. But when they uncover Hazel’s painful secret, will Meghan also be able to use her investigative prowess to solve the family mystery and help both women recover all that’s been lost?"

  It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a book so much. This well written mystery has three parts being told all at once. It gives  Grandma Hazel's life, her daughter Diane's life, and her granddaughter Meghan's life. 

  Meghan has always wondered why her mother Diane has always been so hateful to grandma Hazel and so resentful of her and her grandmother's relationship. 

   Diane has never understood why her mother Hazel has always been so overprotective of her. Diane is also jealous of her mother's relationship with her daughter, Meghan. She wished that her mother would have treated her like her daughter, Meghan.

  Grandmother Hazel has a secret that she hopes no one ever finds out about. When her granddaughter Meghan finds a special box of hers, her secret is revealed. Will this secret help mend this fractured family or drive them apart?
