From the USA Today bestselling author of the Hope River series comes a
new contemporary midwife novel.
Say "goodbye" to your old life, and "hello" to the life you've been
waiting for...
Midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to comforting her pregnant
patients...calming fathers-to-be as they anxiously await the birth of
their children...ensuring the babies she delivers come safely into the
world.
But when Clara's life takes a nosedive, she realizes she hasn't been
tending to her own needs and does something drastic: she runs away and
starts over again in a place where no one knows her or the mess she's
left behind in West Virginia. Heading to Sea Gull Island--a tiny, remote
Canadian island--Clara is ready for anything. Well, almost. She left her
passport back home, and the only way she can enter Canada is by hitching
a ride on a snowmobile and illegally crossing the border.
Deciding to reinvent herself, Clara takes a new identity--Sara
Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there's no avoiding the
outside world. The residents are friendly, and draw "Sara" into their
lives and confidences. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using
her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local
police officer.
But what will happen if she lets down her guard and reveals the real
reason why she left her old life? One lesson soon becomes clear: no
matter how far you run, you can never really hide from your past.
