Elise starts to fall behind in her work and doesn't want to attend school.Another story plays out at the same time. Elise's parents are both dead and she lives with her Aunt and Uncle. On her twelfth birthday she is given a letter. Every year she gets a letter from her father. He wrote them to her before he died. But this will be her last one. Her father has left her eight keys. They open doors in the barn outside their home. What she discovers when she acquires each key helps her figure who she is and what is important. Sure to be a classic. Kleenex's required.
