When her friend Ann arrives from California to help plan their upcoming high school reunion, Ann confides that she's actually there for something more : she's just learned that her DNA does not match her parents! As they consider the implications, a strange necklace slips out from Ann's collar. Sadie immediately recognizes the design as a match for a distinctive grating in the house she's restoring. But when asked about it, Ann says it's a family heirloom. As Sadie plays referee between Ann and her best friend, Roz, whose ideas for the reunion are as different as California is from Colorado, she begins piecing together the baffling connection between the necklace and the old house. What Sadie learns uncovers a fascinating chapter from the town's past and brings about another amazing reunion.
