For Ava Whalen, a new marriage and a move to St. Simons Island means a new beginning. But what she doesnโt realize is that her marriage will take her on an unexpected journey into the deep recesses of her past that will transform her foreverโฆ
For as long as she can remember, Ava Whalen has struggled with a sense of not belonging, and now, at thirty-four, she still feels stymied by her family. Then she meets child psychologist Matthew Frazier, and thinks her days of loneliness are behind her. After a whirlwind romance, they impulsively elope, and Ava moves to Matthewโs ancestral home on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia.
But after the initial excitement, Ava is surprised to discover that true happiness continues to elude her. There is much she doesnโt know about Matthew, including the mysterious circumstances surrounding his first wifeโs death. And her new home seems to hold as many mysteries and secrets as her new husband. Feeling adrift, Ava throws herself into uncovering Matthewโs family history and that of the island, not realizing that she has a connection of her own to this placeโor that her obsession with the past could very well destroy her future.
