Love and family. War and secrets. Betrayal and
redemption. #1 New York Times
bestselling author Susan Wiggs returns with a deeply
emotional and atmospheric story that spans oceans and
decades, from the present-day Delaware shore to the
battlefields of WWII France. Widowed by an unspeakable tragedy, Camille Palmer has made
her peace with the past and settled into the quiet safety of
life with her teenage daughter Julie in a sleepy coastal
town. Then the arrival of a mysterious package breaks open
the door to her family’s secret past. In uncovering a hidden
history, Camille has no idea that she’s embarking on an
adventure that will utterly transform her. Camille, Julie, and Camille’s father return to the French
town of his youth, sparking unexpected memories —
recollections that will lead them back to the dark days of
the Second World War. And it is in the stunning Provençal
countryside that they will uncover their family’s surprising
history. While Provence offers answers about the past, it also holds
the key to Camille’s future. Along the way, she meets a
former naval officer who stirs a passion deep within her — a
feeling that she thought she’d never experience again.
