Ever since her husband Joe died, Velma Trueâs world has been limited to what she can see while clinging to one of the multicolored threads tied to the porch railing of her home outside Echo, Florida.
When a mysterious stranger appears at her door on her birthday and presents Velma with a special gift, she is rattled by the objectâs ability to take her into her memoriesâa place where Joe still lives, her son Rudy is still young, unaffected by the worldâs hardness, and the beginning is closer than the end. As secrets old and new come to light, Velma wonders if itâs possible to be unmoored from the pastâs deep roots and find a reason to hope again...
