ESSIE'S WAY is a touching story about finding yourself and learning from past mistakes. When Miranda McIntyre is searching for something old to go with her wedding dress the answer comes to her in her sleep: an antique necklace in the shape of a horseshoe encrusted with pearls. But the dream is really a memory, one Miranda's mother, Kathleen, refuses to discuss. Determined to uncover the truth Miranda finds an old newspaper clipping and a faded photo of a young woman on a horse who has an uncanny resemblance to herself. Could the grandmother she thought was dead possibly still be alive and can she find her in time to be reunited with the family at her wedding? Ignoring the recurring dreams that have been keeping her awake night after night and the creeping uncertainty about her impending marriage Miranda takes off on a road trip in search of answers to the family mystery but also in search of herself. Ultimately she will find that looking back can lead you home.
