What you don't know can't hurt you...until you find out about it. And what Aurora doesn't know could change everything. A native to Venice Beach, she's used to the unusual, but when she starts getting letters from her deceased mother, even she thinks it's strange. Odder still is the arrival of her brother who ran away from home at sixteen and has made it a point to stay away, keeping his secrets with him. His insistence on selling their childhood home, an unkempt bungalow, is unwavering. But as the honesty of the letters makes her question the past, she clings even tighter to the place that holds her dark and dusty memories. Inspired by the death of legendary musician Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, the story spans from the 1960's to the present and tells the story of three love affairs, one family, and countless ghosts.
