Sometimes
the only way through darkness is to return to where it began.
Marianne Stokes fled England at
seventeen, spiraling into the manic depression that would become her shadow.
She left behind secrets, memories, and tragedy: one teen dead, and her first
love, Gabriel, badly injured. Three decades later she’s finally found peace in
the North Carolina recording studio she runs with her husband, Darius, and her
almost-daughter, Jade…until another fatality propels her back across the ocean
to confront the long-buried past.
In her picturesque childhood village, the first
person she meets is the last person she wants to see again: Gabriel. Now the
village vicar, he takes her in without question, and ripples of what if reverberate through both their hearts.
As Marianne’s mind unravels, Jade and Darius track her down. Tempers clash when
everyone tries to help, but only by finding the courage to face her illness can
Marianne heal herself and her offbeat family.
