Her desperate decision during World War II changed everything. Now, 70 years later, her secret is unraveling.
At ninety years old, Audrey Thorpe still lives in a historic mansion on palm-tree-lined Victory Drive, determined to retain her independence. But when her health begins to fade, her family hires a part-time caretaker, Laurel. The two women seem to bond—until Audrey disappears. Unbeknownst to Laurel, Audrey has harbored a secret for 70 years, since her time as a nurse in the South Pacific during World War II. As the story moves between the verdant jungles of the war-torn Philippines and the glitter of modern-day Savannah, friendships new and old are tested. Along the way, Audrey grapples with one of life’s heart-wrenching truths: You can only outrun your secrets for so long.
"A taut and lyrical literary thriller that I found difficult to put down...Heather Bell Adams is a truly gifted novelist." --Silas House, author of Southernmost
"A plot-perfect page turner … Adams has hit the sweet spot, mastering a literary tone with commercial pacing. If you’re looking for the next screen-worthy winner and a book club bullseye, this is your story." --Julie Cantrell, bestselling author of Perennials
"A riveting and intimate novel about singular friendships, courage, sacrifice, and the remarkable lives of the Greatest Generation." --Foreword Reviews
"A profoundly affecting story … with a storyline at once poignant and stirring, characters drawn with such intensity and plausibility that they seem like folks we know, and a prose style so effortless that it belies its quiet, seamless power … Do not miss this novel, a fountain of tenderness and wisdom." --The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
"Gentle, nostalgic, and told with great heart … A charming, sumptuous read." --Susan Bernhard, author of Winter Loon
"Telling a story from the heart is Heather Bell Adams’ specialty … Will grab the reader from the first page." --Kimberly Brock, author of The River Witch

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
