In an Italian village, a woman’s impulsive decision leads to a lifetime of lies: “A fascinating story of secrets and betrayals.” —Helen Matthews, author of Girl Out of Sight
Everyone’s hiding something in the idyllic Tuscan village of Santa Zita. So when social pariah Sonia finds an abandoned baby, she believes her prayers have been answered. But twenty-five years later, her old friend Carlo is digging into her family’s past for a book he’s writing, and the police are investigating a murder at the villa she grew up in. Could one discovery could lead to another?
If the truth about Lorenzo’s identity gets out, it could destroy not only the fragile bond between Sonia and her son, but also blow the lid off a darker, more terrible secret about a wartime event the village is still reeling from.
While Carlo is determined to get to the truth, Sonia will do anything to stop him . . .
