The Girl Who Walked Into the Gala With a Broken Locket
A homeless girl crashes a charity gala carrying a locket—and the woman hosting it recognizes the face inside.
Nine-year-old Lucy Hale had no invitation, no clean coat, and no reason to believe anyone inside the Grand Marlowe Hotel would listen to her.
She had come for one reason: the gold locket her mother left behind contained a photograph of a woman Lucy had never met. When that same woman appeared across the ballroom, dressed in emerald silk and surrounded by New York's wealthiest donors, Lucy realized the impossible photograph might be the only proof she had left of who she was.
But the reunion it triggered would expose a family secret that had been protected for ten years—and force three people to decide whether blood, money, or truth made a family.
