A Word From the Author:

"Rarely do I seek out a fresh and flashy object. Most things I’m attracted to are a bit dirty and worn or discarded. History is worn on the sleeves of such objects—semiprecious in their own right. There is no hiding their vulnerability in a world full of shiny and new, and a connection to the past is maintained when treasures of old are loved for the stories they tell (and the secrets they never will)." — Stephanie Lee
