Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Welsh landscape, this is a haunting, inspiring, and heart-lifting novel of loss, family reconciliation, and the healing power of love...
When she was eight years old, Alys Davies survived a tragedy in the small Welsh town where she was born. It shattered the village with guilt and stunning disbelief and destroyed her family. Each sought their own private-and devastating-escape. For Alys it was to flee to the United States where, far away from the memories, she could rebuild her life, realize her budding career as a poet, and marry. Now, a new tragedy unfolds in Alys's life, forcing her to face her demons. Grieving for her past, Alys decides to return to it. Step by step, she makes the long journey back home to Wales, to embrace the memories of all that she lost, and to finally open herself to love...
