In Hong Kong, just before her marriage to John Drayton, Lexine has a night of passion with an American officer that results in the birth of a baby boy. Lexine allows her husband to believe the child is his, and they bring him up together until World War II erupts. In their desperate attempt to escape the Japanese, Lexine and her family are shipwrecked and Lexine believes herself to be the only survivor. As the war heightens and tensions rise, Lexine once again encounters the America officer, and suddenly her past returns to haunt her.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
