About this title

Synopsis

Her heart had always been restless. But some loves, once found, are destined to return-even when the body begins to betray its rhythm.

In 1983, a young woman from Montreal met a Mexican musician in Cancún. Their connection was profound but couldn't overcome the pull of separate lives. For decades, they lived apart-until a Facebook message reconnected them and love drew her back to Mexico thirty-six years later.

A testament to second chances, aging bravely, and the enduring power of love that refuses to stay buried.
