Following the death of her Aunt Eveline, fourteen-year old Addie—who we first met in Berthe Amoss's classic \u003ci\u003eSecret Lives\u003c\/i\u003e —is now living with her Aunt Tooise, Uncle Henry, and her longtime rival cousin, Sandra Lee. A new family has just moved into Addie's former house, including a young girl who is just Addie's age. Meanwhile, Louis, the father of Tom, Addie's lifelong neighbor and best friend, suddenly returns after having disappeared when Tom was a baby. Between school dances, organizing a Christmas play, fretting about her hair, and a blossoming romance with Tom, Addie stumbles upon a mystery buried in the Great Catch All, an ancient giant armoire filled with heirlooms of her family's past, which holds a devastating secret that could destroy Louis and Tom's lives. Once again, Berthe Amoss has created an indelible portrait of a young girl coming of age in prewar New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, \u003cb\u003eBerthe Amoss\u003c\/b\u003e is the author and illustrator of twenty-eight children's and young adult books.
