About this ebook
When Victoria and her husband win a lottery for a house in Greece, they jump at the opportunity to start over, and find themselves drawn into a village of secrets and discover a whole new meaning to family.
Victoria and Adam moved to Folegandros as an experiment. Two years on this quiet island will give them time to recover from their recent tragedies. But for Victoria, life on the island is one big reminder of all she left behind—of all she lost. As she grapples with her dreams of motherhood slipping away, a chance encounter with Maria, a bright young girl without much family of her own, throws Victoria's world into chaos...and may just be the spark she needs to come back to life.
The island is full of surprises, as the mysterious owner of the sixth abandoned cottage returns, raising questions about a decades-old body uncovered in the yard. When Victoria finds a WWII-era journal in an out-of-the-way cave, she is sure it holds the key to unraveling Folegandros's unspoken past. But even as she throws herself into the investigation, the cracks in Victoria's heart continue to grow. Will she continue to bury her pain until she finally breaks apart, or can the resilient beauty of the island show her a way forward?
This captivating journey, rife with complexity and emotion, is perfect for readers seeking rich, transformative fiction that resonates long after the last page.
