A debut novel that takes readers to a sun-drenched Greek
island, where a young widow makes discoveries that
transform her life.

The roles of celebrity wife and mother satisfied Anna
Sandoval completely-until her husband, a famed
international journalist, suffered a fatal heart attack.
Now, a year later, still young and with her children grown,
Anna seeks an interlude from grief and a fresh start on the
timeless isle of Crete. In a small Greek community of
ancient hills soaked in sun and surrounded by sea, Anna
adapts to a slower pace and simpler lifestyle. Gradually,
she rediscovers a passion for drawing and becomes protégé
to a local artist and his sage wife, whose combined
insights help Anna transform life into art-and take charge
of her destiny. But when two very different men invite her
into their lives, she must decide not just what kind of
love she wants, but whether love itself is worth risking
everything she's gained.
