"For with Rose's letter, the color of Eliza's world had changed. Like the kaleidoscope in the nursery that had so delighted her when she first came to Blackhurst, one twist and the same pieces were rearranged to create a vastly different picture.
Where a week ago she had felt secure, enveloped in the certainty that she and Rose were irrevocably tied, now she feared herself alone again." "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton (367)
I've been scanning old family photos. As I look at the pictures, I know what the future holds for the people.
Like the kaleidoscope, one twist - a death, an illness, a divorce, a baby, a job opportunity, a move, a wedding - just one twist - all the people are the same but suddenly things are very different.

This beautiful kaleidoscope was a gift from good friends
