"The Secret Book of Flora Lea" by Patti Callahan Henry traces the story of two sisters whose lives are shattered by one tragic moment. In war-torn London in 1939, teenage Hazel cares for her little sister Flora, distracting her sister with secret tales of a magical land far away from war and terror. When Flora disappears one day, Hazel blames herself, and even two decades later, she finds it nearly impossible to let go of the guilt. Then, one day, she unwraps a package and finds a book describing the imaginary world she created for Flora, and she dives into a quest to find out if her sister might still be alive.
