From the bestselling author of Honeysuckle Season comes a powerful story of love, loss, and the secrets we leave behind.
Zara Mitchell has spent years surrounded by death as a hospice nurse. So when her sister asks her to care for their sharp-minded but ailing grandmother, she agrees, even though their family ties are frayed.
Nonna is determined to find something long buried, and she sends Zara digging through the attic. As boxes open and memories surface, Zara reconnects with a man who complicates everything and uncovers a wooden chest that holds more than heirlooms.
Inside, a journal reveals a forgotten romance in 1943 Italy filled with courage, betrayal, and heartbreak. What Zara finds doesn’t just explain the past. It forces her to rethink her future.
