Two main characters and their stories intertwine in the most eloquent way through a beautiful scarf that has stood the test of time. The smaller of the two stories is the modern day story about a woman who lived through the tragedy of September 11th in New York City and lost her husband when the towers collapsed. The story that took center stage centered around a woman who lived through the tragedy of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York in 1911 - Clara is a nurse and lived through this tragedy and is still trying to put the pieces of her life back together.

There were moments in this book that completely took my breath away as these two women find out bits of information surrounding their deepest moments that help them recover and figure out what can be next after hitting extreme lows. The way these two tragedies in New York City mirror one another was amazing - I couldn't believe that the history behind it was completely true.
