So says the subtitle of the new book The Postcard, by Tony Abbott. Just like the hypnotic cover picture, you are drawn into this story. Jason's family is falling apart. His mom and dad hardly speak to each other. Then Jason's dad leaves for Florida because the grandmother he has never known has died. Now Jason is being sent to Florida to help his dad bury his grandmother and pack and fix up the house for selling. While sweating in the Florida heat, Jason gets a strange phone call telling him to look in the desk. A search of the desk reveals an old postcard stuck in one of the drawers. Now the mystery begins. The postcard was blank except for a typed address. The picture was an old hotel, one that had been owned by Jason's great-grandfather.With this simple start Jason follows a trail of old postcards and magazine stories over time which lead him to learn about his father's family and to uncover many family secrets.
