About this ebook
From the USA Today bestselling author of the Brennan Sisters novels comes a heartwarming story about finding love and strength, even in the darkest moments…
In the wake of a tragedy that tore her life down to the foundations, Dr. Alison McAdams has lost her way. So when she’s summoned to Napa to care for her ailing father, she’s not sure she has anything to offer him—or anyone else.
What Ali finds in Northern California wine country is a gift—an opportunity to rest, and distance from her painful memories. Most unexpectedly, she finds people who aren’t afraid of her grief or desperate for her to hurry up and move on.
As Ali becomes part of her father’s community, makes new friends of her own, and hears the stories of a generation who survived the Second World War, she begins to find hope again. In a quest to discover the truth about another woman’s lost love, she sets off on a journey across oceans and deep into history. And in making sense of that long-ago tragedy, Ali is able to put together the broken pieces of her heart and make new choices that are right for her.

I really enjoyed this latest book by Jane Porter. It grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go. Alison is going through the motions of life, not really living or dealing with her grief. When her father has an accident, she goes to help out, only to find he's in a better place emotionally than she is. But while visiting him at the retirement community, she learns a lot about him--and herself. A chance bond with a woman there gives her purpose and a reason to live again. In learning this woman's past during WWII, Ali takes a side trip to Berlin, and pieces so much together. This journey for Ali is transcending, and it changes not only her future, but her raison D'être, and opens her heart for possibility. This is a must-read for summer. Jane Porter's writing is compelling and has one hanging on till the end. This book gives hope and light in the darkest of days. I was provided a copy by the publisher for my honest review.
