Asta Fung is sixteen and sulky. Her parents have moved the whole family to take over the Yau Sum takeaway in another town so Grandpa Charlie can be closer to the big hospital. She's had to give up her dog, her friends, her familiar teenage life. All too soon, she has to give up Grandpa Charlie too. What was the point?

When the builder's son, Josh, hands her a bundle of love letters he found under the floorboards, Asta realizes they were hidden there by Grandpa Charlie as a young man. Desperate to keep the memory of her grandfather alive, she determines to track down the mysterious Ela Hennessy who wrote them, but as the new girl in town, Asta will have to do it on her own. Or so she thinks.
