When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just fourteen years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her held gold. And when he died fifty years later, he made her promise to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contained. Now at ninety-four, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life, but she's kept her promise. When Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, an unlikely friendship develops, and Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her.
