I received an ARC for this book through a Goodreads Giveaway (I highly recommend them-- I've won several!)

Arthur Pepper is a widower who sticks to his routines and leads a simple life after his wife's death. His relationships with his children are distant, and he likes to keep to himself.
On the one-year anniversary of her death, he decides to go through their closets and clear out her things. He comes across a pair of boots and reaches inside to find a little jewelry box with a charm bracelet inside.
He's curious to know what the sentimental purpose is behind each charm and decides to do his investigating. Each charm tends to lead a clue to the next. You get to follow Arthur not only on his journey to find out who his wife was before they met, but also on his road to healing the relationships with his grown children.
This is a beautifully written and "charming" story. :) I give it 3.5 stars because it was cute and overall a pretty interesting story... I just found it predictable and, because of that, a wee bit lackluster.
I would recommend this as a solid "cleanser" book after reading something heavy.
