Could her painful past lead to a new beginning?

When Victoria escapes New York for the Greek island of Folegandros, she hopes the new life there will heal her marriage and her heart. But she and her husband are still haunted by the absence of the child they never had.

Then Maria appears – a wild, fiercely independent eight-year-old with a fractured family. Her arrival will open Victoria’s heart. It will also reopen the story of a girl who hid on the island during the war, and the man who risked everything to protect her.

As the lines between past and present begin to blur, Victoria must decide what she really wants: an escape – or a new home?
