Thirteen-year-old Betony has always hated going to her cranky great-grandmother's house. It's old and stuffy and boring and the woodstove in the kitchen is always burning too hot. But her Gram doesn't have any other family living close by on the Kingston Peninsula, so Betony ends up being dragged along all the time. She'd rather be pretty much anywhere...until one day Betony sits on her Gram's favourite chair. She is suddenly transported into the past, and is experiencing her Gram's life as if it were in her own memory. At first Betony is excited and curious, and begins to develop a close relationship with Gram, even learning to cook and quilt. But after she has experienced a few more of her great-grandmother's memories, she realizes she is slowly uncovering a terrible, shameful family secret.
