Summary:
"An artist
lost
to history, a family abandoned to its secrets, and the woman whose search for meaning unearths it all. American photographer Cady Drake shoots local merry-go-rounds, a hobby inspired by a carved wooden rabbit gifted to her following her troubled years in foster care. Now at a crisis point in her life, Cady can't refuse a freelance assignment documenting the antique carousels of Paris. While there, she hopes to track down the true origins of her rabbit, which she has always believed to be carved by French
carousel
maker Gustave Bayol. Cady's research leads her to
Provence
, where she discovers a dilapidated
carousel
carved by Bayol for the grand Chateau Clement in the early 1900s. After commissioning the
carousel
, the Clement family struggled to maintain their ancestral home through the two World Wars, buffeted by jealousies passed down through the generations. Despite the
carousel
's derelict state, Cady longs to restore it--if she can secure the permission of the run-down chateau's gruff, elderly owner, a man with secrets of his own. As Cady digs deeper into the past, unearthing century-old photographs of the Clement
carousel
and its creators, she might be the one person who can bring the past to light and reunite a family torn apart"--Publisher.
