morning glory

Morningglory Book Description "Everyone and everything has a purpose in this life. You, me, this little morning glory. We are all connected to each other." Yes. His belongings are still there. They stand frozen in time. Her wedding dress, a few books and memories... Ada Santorini leaves her past behind and comes to Seattle to live in one of the floating houses that promise her quiet moments. One day, he finds a mysterious chest inside his floating house, and this chest will open the doors of new adventures for him in this place where he escapes from the burdens of the past. While browsing through the old belongings of Penny Wentworth, he becomes a part of the 1950s and Penny's turbulent life. Penny has just gotten married and thinks she is happy, but with each passing day, she realizes that there are some missing aspects in her life, both about her marriage and about herself. As Ada gets to know Penny, she begins to unravel the knots in her own past, one by one. As Penny and Ada's lives become increasingly intertwined, Sarah Jio's intriguing, forgiving and questioning narrative in Morningglory is admirable.
