Some things do not begin when they arrive. They begin long before, quietly, waiting to be found.
Winny has always been different.
Raised by her grandmother Ruby in an isolated cottage surrounded by woodland, bees and generations of family history, her childhood is filled with love, stories and the quiet certainty that the world holds more than she can see.
Then there is the black button.
Hidden amongst hundreds in an old biscuit tin, it looks ordinary enough. But to Winny, it has never felt ordinary. It is warm beneath her fingers, impossible to forget and somehow always seems to find its way back to her.
As Winny grows, strange things begin to happen. Things she cannot explain. While Ruby watches the child she loves become stronger, she knows something Winny does not.
The button is not a button.
And the life Ruby has tried so carefully to protect her from is already beginning to find her.
The Black Button is the first book in The Keeper Series, a magical coming-of-age story about family, love, loss and a legacy that has been waiting for the right person to find it.
