Emily thinks she’s lost everything…until a mysterious
painting leads her to what she wants most in the world. The
new novel from the author of international bestsellers
The Sweetness of Forgetting and The Life
Intended shows why her books are hailed as “engaging”
(People), “absorbing” (Kirkus Reviews) and
“enthralling” (Fresh Fiction). Emily Emerson is used to being alone; her dad ran out on the
family when she was a just a kid, her mom died when she was
seventeen, and her beloved grandmother has just passed away
as well. But when she’s laid off from her reporting job, she
finds herself completely at sea…until the day she receives a
beautiful, haunting painting of a young woman standing at
the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky. That woman
is recognizable as her grandmother—and the painting arrived
with no identification other than a handwritten note saying,
“He always loved her.” Emily is hungry for roots and family, so she begins to dig.
And as she does, she uncovers a fascinating era in American
history. Her trail leads her to the POW internment camps of
Florida, where German prisoners worked for American
farmers...and sometimes fell in love with American women.
But how does this all connect to the painting? The answer to
that question will take Emily on a road that leads from the
sweltering Everglades to Munich, Germany and back to the
Atlanta art scene before she’s done. Along the way, she finds herself tempted to tear down her
carefully tended walls at last; she’s seeing another side of
her father, and a new angle on her painful family history.
But she still has secrets, ones she’s been keeping locked
inside for years. Will this journey bring her the strength
to confront them at last?
