<strong>From the </strong><strong><em>New York Times</em></strong><strong> bestselling author of </strong><strong><em>The Orphan’s Tale</em></strong><strong> comes an intoxicating novel of love and redemption during a time of war.</strong><br /><br /><em>Summer 1941.</em> Young Adelia Montforte flees fascist Italy for America, where she is whisked away to the shore by her well-meaning aunt and uncle.

But all hopes for a future together are soon throttled by the war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home. <br /><br />Grief-stricken, Addie flees—first to Washington and then to war-torn London—and finds a position at a prestigious newspaper, as well as a chance to redeem lost time, lost family…and lost love. But the past always nips at her heels, demanding to be reckoned with. And in a final, fateful choice, Addie discovers that the way home may be a path she never suspected.<br /><br /><em>Originally published in 2015.</em><br /><br />
