Cordelia Pearlwater, Keeper of Lost Memories

Nothing loved is ever truly lost.

Deep beneath the sparkling waters of Moon Bay, where coral gardens bloom beneath ribbons of sunlight and the Moonkeeper's Lighthouse shines far above the sea, lives an extraordinary sea turtle named Cordelia Pearlwater.

While others hurry past, Cordelia notices the little things.

She remembers forgotten pathways.

Old songs.

Acts of kindness.

The laughter of children.

The warmth of home.

One magical evening, a tiny glowing star falls into the sea and settles inside an empty shell.

Cordelia soon discovers it isn't a star at all.

It's a memory.

Before long, more memory-filled shells begin drifting into Moon Bay-each carrying a precious moment someone fears losing forever.

To protect them, Cordelia creates the Garden of Remembering, a hidden underwater sanctuary where every treasured memory waits safely until its owner is ready to remember again.

But after a fierce storm sweeps across Moon Bay, Cordelia discovers one silent midnight-blue shell that refuses to glow.

Inside sleeps a nearly forgotten lullaby.

With the help of Miro the Moonkeeper's Cat, Oliver Wickett, Juniper Wren, and the wise Moonkeeper, Cordelia follows clues through Moon Bay to discover who the forgotten song belongs to-and learns that while memories may soften with time, love never truly fades.

Filled with breathtaking illustrations, unforgettable characters, magical underwater adventures, and timeless wisdom, Cordelia Pearlwater, Keeper of Lost Memories is a comforting story families will treasure for generations.

Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who believes the people we love always leave a light behind.
