Connected through time by a shared English countryside home, a nurse looking to escape her recent problems tries to piece together her beloved grandmother's tangled history in the new historical novel from the acclaimed author of At Summer's End. England, 2019: Audrey Collins knew only one thing about her beloved grandmother Emilie's history: she was born into nobility. When she inherits Emilie's home in North Yorkshire, Audrey arrives expecting a sprawling country estate fit for lords and ladies but instead finds an abandoned stone cottage perfectly preserved as her grandmother left it when she fled the country in 1941, ration book and all. France, 1915: Lady Emile Dawes is working as a nurse on the Western Front, grateful to have escaped the restraints of her tumultuous home life. The independence she fought hard to earn is jeopardized when a familiar man shows up in one of her hospital beds, and she realizes she can't escape her past until she faces it. A hundred years apart, Audrey and Emilie each struggle to find purpose, love, and a place to call home in this harrowing family saga celebrating the courage of underestimated women-and the power a secret can hold across generations. Story Locale: North Yorkshire, England and the Western Front, France
