A powerful story of love and redemption, and what one woman
will do to overcome the buried secrets of her past.
Alice Kessler spent nine years in prison for the attempted
murder of the drunk driver who killed her son. Now she's
returned home to Gray's Island to reconnect with the son she
left behind. Her boy, Jeremy, now a sullen teenager, is
wrongly accused of rape, and mother and son are thrown
together in a desperate attempt to prove his innocence.
She's aided by Colin McGinty, a recovering alcoholic and
9/11 widower, also recently returned to the island in the
aftermath of his grandfather's death. Colin's grandfather, a
famous artist, is best known for his haunting portrait,
"Woman in Red," which happens to be of Alice's grandmother.
In a tale that weaves the past with the present, we come
to know the story behind the portrait, of the forbidden
wartime romance between William McGinty and Eleanor Styles,
and the deadly secret that bound them more tightly than even
their love for each other. A secret that, more than half a
century later, is about to be unburied, as Alice and Colin
are drawn into a fragile romance of their own and the ghost
of an enemy from long ago surfaces in the form of his
grandson, the very man responsible for sending Alice to
prison.
