A legendary island steeped in the mystery and wisdom of
centuries…
A runaway heiress learning to trust life, and
love… A mother and daughter, separated for years, searching
for a way to face the future together…New York Times
bestselling author Luanne Rice tells a powerful story of
love, family, and friendship through the lives of two women
who reunite at a place where dreams begin—and where they may
be fulfilled at last…
Years ago, Lyra Davis left behind a
world of wealth and privilege and the people she loved most
in the world, unable to reconcile the expectations of her
celebrated family with the longings of her own wild heart.
Now she lives quietly among a community of expatriates on
the isle of Capri, slowly, carefully learning to live fully
for the first time, flourishing in the friendship of a
singular man who recognizes in her a kindred spirit.
Granddaughter of the reigning doyenne of Newport, Rhode
Island, wise beyond her sixteen years, Pell Davis is poised
to take her place at the pinnacle of society. Yet she and
her young sister still long for the mother who ran away from
them when they were children so that they could be raised by
the father they adored. Pell knows that Lyra felt she loved
them best by leaving. But with her father now dead and her
sister veering dangerously into fantasy, she will travel
across an ocean to find the mother she remembers and the
deeper truths they all need so desperately…
Lyrical,
unforgettable, Luanne Rice’s new novel unfolds against a
background of timeless beauty, as an unlikely love affair
reshapes the meaning of devotion and three generations of
women resist the pull of memory and tradition to find a new
way forward.
