When the school bell rings at the end of the day, Jasmine says the sheriff has organized a search party that’s meeting in the center of town.

She and her husband talked of moving abroad, but it remained just a vague idea until one day Jasmine took the bull by the horns.

Earlier in the day, Jasmine's parents had left her alone with her grandmother at their home in Highland while they went to work, according to the Sheriff's Department.

The next day Jasmine moved into the vacant room, and if Cousin Edith's mourning brooch had contained a lock of her own hair instead of a grandmother's she would not have thought it inappropriate, for the departure of the poor relation had impressed her mind like a death more than a visit to the seaside.

One bitterly cold March day Jasmine had been sitting for hours scribbling away at her novel.
