Dědictví rodu Série

Díky rodinnému šperku si tři ženy jasněji uvědomí, že na rodině velmi záleží. Příběhy ukryté v přívěscích změní jejich pohled na život a ony najdou novou chuť ho žít. Lolly dostávala od své matky ke každým narozeninám jedno kouzlo spolu s připomínkou, jak důležité jsou rodinné vzpomínky. Teď je Lolly sedmdesát let, zhoršuje se jí paměť, a tak si uvědomí, že jí nezbývá moc času na to, aby obnovila vztah se svou dcerou a s vnučkou, protože obě byly stále příliš zaměstnané, než aby si našly chvilku na ni a na její rodinné historky. Když ale Lollyině dceři Arden kdosi nečekaně zavolá a vyjádří obavu o její matku, vypraví se Arden za ní a vezme s sebou i svou dceru (a Lollyinu vnučku) Lauren. Lolly jim pak vypráví příběhy spojené s jednotlivými přívěsky na náramku – a všechny tři si znovu najdou cestu k sobě navzájem a také radost, naději a lásku. Kouzelný náramek je dárek, který budete žárlivě střežit ještě dlouho poté, co dočtete poslední stránku.
