Tras una leyenda tailandesa, la acuarela de una exquisita orquídea y un diario olvidado se esconde la verdad que redimirá a tres generaciones de personajes inolvidables.
De niña, Julia Forrester pasaba horas en el invernadero de Wharton Park haciendo compañía a su abuelo, el jardinero de la hermosa mansión aristocrática. Años después, tras perder lo que más sentido daba a su vida, Julia busca consuelo en ese escenario que marcó su infancia. Pero Wharton Park es una sombra de sus días pasados y Kit Crawford, el último heredero de una gran familia, se ve obligado a ponerla en venta. Entre los objetos subastados se encuentra la acuarela de una rara orquídea, procedente de Tailandia, que pronto despertará en ella recuerdos enterrados. Poco después, un sorprendente hallazgo en las dependencias de los criados suscita nuevas preguntas que solo su abuela, antigua doncella de la finca, podrá responder.

Una historia de olvido y recuerdo cuyas raíces se hundirán en lo más profundo de nuestra memoria.
Han pasado treinta años desde que Greta dejara atrás Marchmont Hall, una hermosa casa situada en los montes del rural Monmouthshire. Pero cuando regresa allí en Navidad, invitada por su viejo amigo David Marchmont, no guarda ningún recuerdo de su tiempo pasado allí: un trágico accidente ha borrado las huellas de décadas enteras de su vida. Paseando por el frío paraje, Greta descubre una tumba entre los árboles, y la desdibujada inscripción le revela que un niño descansa eternamente bajo tierra.
El chocante hallazgo despierta antiguos recuerdos en la mente de Greta. Así, con la ayuda de David, empezará a unir las piezas dispersas no solo de su propio pasado, sino de la historia de su hija Cheska, cuya imagen se alejará poco a poco de la del ángel que parecía ser...
