A beautiful story of love, loss and second chances. As one woman searches for hope after a devastating divorce she discovers help hidden within the pages of a 1943 diary.
The island has a way of calling you home...
Ten years ago, Emily Watson was on top of the world: a best-selling novel, a husband plucked from the pages of a magazine, and a one-way ticket to happily ever after.
Now her perfect life has crumbled and Emily is left to pick up the pieces.
So when her great-Aunt Bee invites her to spend the month of March on her beloved Bainbridge Island, Emily accepts, longing to be healed by the sea. As she begins researching her next book, Emily discovers a red velvet diary, dated 1943, whose contents reveal a startling secret that could change her life forever...
A heart-breaking story of love, hope and second chances, from the international bestselling author of All the Flowers in Paris
