But she does take things that don’t belong to her.
The best part about working as a maid in her parent’s motel is pocketing all the random objects people leave behind. From old ticket stubs to the glue that comes with a toupee, Alma has discovered it all and stored it in a tub beneath her bed.
Her greatest treasure isn’t what she found in room six at Great Lakes Motel, but it’s who she discovered in an old, abandoned train car behind her house.
His name is Rumor, and he certainly won’t fit under her bed.
After a quick scan of Rumor’s surroundings, it becomes crystal clear that he’s not just hanging out in the train car for a place to escape. He’s living in it.
With determination heavy inside her, she does the only thing that makes sense to her...
She brings him home.
Turns out, he’s looking for a treasure of his own, and who better to help him find it than her?

There are hardly words to describe the array of emotions this book has evoked inside me. This is such a heartwarming story that will leave you hearing tiny violins.
I think that what I love most about this book is the way that it effortlessly combines emotions. You will be feeling so much when you read this at all of the appropriate times. The blending of emotions is fantastic.
I also loved the depth of the characters. Alma is a kind-hearted and quirky girl with a heart that just keeps on giving. She was a breath of fresh air. Rumor was a character that was easy to empathize with. I hadn't experienced what he had but I could feel every bit of it right along with him. I love when an author writes a character that I can step into the shoes of and live their life. The secondary characters were a delight. You can tell that these characters come from a special place in the author's heart.
Overall, this is a book that I was greatly impressed with and I am so grateful to have taken a chance on. It is moving in all the best ways and the story will seep into your soul and refuse to let you be. This is a book that will stay on your mind long after you've finished it. I can't wait for another book from this author.

The best place to find Lacey is with her nose in a book. She’s a sucker for a good love story and a happy ending that has her swooning. When she’s not obsessing over giving her own characters a happy ending, you can find her in the dance studio empowering young dancers and giving out tons of stickers. Thanks to her mother’s pizzeria, Lacey can make a delicious pizza.
When she’s not putting on her dance shoes or inhaling a slice of pizza, she’s in front of her computer binge watching romantic comedies and penning stories with love so powerful, it’ll last a lifetime. As a recent graduate of Central Michigan University, Lacey intends to keep inspiring people through dance and lots and lots of words. She currently lives in Central Michigan surrounded by her family and unpredictable weather.
