A Memory of Violets by Hazel Gaynor

In her room, she finds a mysterious wooden box that contains, among other things, a shamrock-embroidered handkerchief, a rag doll, a collection of pressed flowers, and a journal written by former resident Flora Flynn. Reading the notebook, Tilly learns that Florrie, a crippled orphan, had never gotten over a traumatic event that happened decades earlier while selling flowers one day, someone pulled the crutch from under her, and before Florrie could get back on her feet, her little sister Rosie, who was only four and nearly blind, had been stolen away. Florrie’s sad notebook details her lifelong search for Rosie and the hole left in her heart by her sister’s disappearance. The writing sometimes falls into the prosaic, and there may be one or two coincidences too many in the plotline, but the story and characters are interesting enough.
