Presley Jackson is a collector of words and homes. As snow begins to fall in Brooklyn, all Presley wants for the holidays is to make the city her family’s forever home—a dream that seems doomed from the start.

Then winter break homework brings Presley to Gilda Six, a peculiar woman who is on a remarkable quest to find her grandson. Just who is this mysterious Gilda, where did she come from, and how far is she willing to take her zany schemes? As snow and secrets pile up, Presley will need all her wits to answer these questions and more.

One thing’s for sure: Gilda needs Presley’s help. And maybe Presley and her family need Gilda’s help, too.

In award-winning author Pat Cumming’s magical companion to her debut novel Trace, there are no coincidences—and home can always be found where your heart is.
