Five Boundless Stars
Let me start off by saying I love books like this. One of my favorite movies is one that has many similarities to this book. I read the description and just had to read it. With that being said I was not disappointed at all. It was a book full of mystery and intrigue. It follows two storylines, one recent and set in current day and one in the past. A young woman, while digging a garden finds two skeletons. This book tells the sad story of who they were and why they were buried "beneath the daisies" of this garden. I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put it down. Great read!!!
