There was a war, Jeanne was nineteen and in love for the first time. Rules became irrelevant. Sixty years on she's still suffering the consequences.
This is the story of two women.
One is English, young and alone, in London. She knows very little of her roots. She has just her mother. Her past is a blank page she wishes she could fill.
The other is French, a grand old lady, the pillar of a family in the South of France. A family of fine repute, strong on tradition. A family that believes in sharing everything. But this woman does have a past, one she has never shared with anyone. A past that weighs on her still.
They have never met.
One heavy secret brings Amy and Jeanne together. It will bind their lives. And like a stone hitting water, the resulting waves will rock all those closest to them.
For this is also a story about family...
