An Amazon Charts most-read and most-sold book.
Author Barbara Davis deftly explores an emotionally charged landscape
of pain, loss, and despair--and the risk one woman will take in the hope
of loving again.
As a teenage runaway and child of an addict, Christy-Lynn learned the
hard way that no address was permanent, and no promise sacred. For a
while, she found a safe haven in her marriage to bestselling crime
novelist Stephen Ludlow--until his car skidded into Echo Bay. But
Stephen's wasn't the only body pulled from the icy waters that night.
When details about a mysterious violet-eyed blonde become public, a
media circus ensues, and Christy-Lynn runs again.
Desperate for answers, she's shattered to learn that Stephen and his
mistress had a child--a little girl named Iris, who now lives in poverty
with her ailing great-grandmother. The thought of Iris abandoned to the
foster care system--as Christy-Lynn once was--is unbearable. But she's
spent her whole life running--determined never to be hurt again. Will
she finally stand still long enough to open herself up to forgiveness
and love?
