Shelley Read's lyrical voice is a force of nature. Tragic, uplifting and completely unforgettable * BONNIE GARMUS, author of LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY * A lush, beautiful, strong book. It took me on a transformative life journey. I could not put it down * CLOVER STROUD * Completely spell-binding, vivid and luminous * JANE GREEN * Suffused with wisdom and compassion, this shattering testimony to one woman's life must be savoured, treasured and shared * MEG WAITE CLAYTON, author of THE POSTMISTRESS OF PARIS * A young woman broken by circumstances who must find a way to forgive before she can love. Torie Nash is a character for the ages as she navigates loss and despair on the road to redemption. Stunning. * ADRIANA TRIGLIANI *
