NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A poignant and tender story of love, loss,
passion, and the fragile threads that bind families together from the
#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale
"A beautifully simple, deeply compassionate story."--Diana Gabaldon
Annie Colwater's only child has just left home for school abroad. On
that same day, her husband of twenty years confesses that he's in love
with a younger woman. Alone in the house that is no longer a home, Annie
comes to the painful realization that for years she has been slowly
disappearing. Lonely and afraid, she retreats to Mystic, the small
Washington town where she grew up, hoping that there she can reclaim the
woman she once was--the woman she is now desperate to become again.
In Mystic, she is reunited with her first love, Nick Delacroix, a recent
widower unable to cope with his grieving, too-silent six-year-old
daughter, Izzie. Together, the three of them begin to heal, and, at
last, Annie learns that she can love without losing herself. But just
when she has found a second chance at happiness, her life is turned
upside down again, and Annie must make a choice no woman should have to
make. . . .
