Now, a year later, still young and with her children grown, Anna seeks an interlude from grief and a fresh start on the timeless isle of Crete.
In a small Greek community on ancient hills soaked in sun and surrounded by the sea, Anna adapts to a slower pace and simpler lifestyle. As the days slip by, she's able to see the beauty in a woven shawl or shadows falling across an ancient ruin. Gradually she rediscovers a passion for drawing and becomes the protege of a local artist and his sage wife, whose combined insights help Anna transform life into art.
For one unforgettable summer, Anna takes charge of her destiny, filled with a newly adventurous spirit. But when two very different men invite her into their lives, she must decide not just what kind of love she wants, but whether love itself is worth risking everything she's gained.
A debut novel that takes readers to a sun-drenched Greek island, where a young widow makes discoveries that transform her life.
