Kate Tranter is fatherless - or is she? The evidence of the tombstone
she finds in the churchyard seems conclusive. And yet... The tombstone
disappears and Kate is left with a mystery about which her family either
knows nothing or will tell nothing. Her search for the truth leads her
to Sattin Shore: and the way to Sattin Shore turns out to be a way into
the past.
Her two elder brothers, her grandmother, her new friend Anna and her
missing father all have a part to play in Kate's search to fit the
jigsaw pieces of past and present to find a new picture for the future.
