Romance

WWII secrets, forbidden love, and one terrible mistake...

When Mia discovers an old letter, she sets out on a mission to uncover the truth about her grandmother's past. With the help of brooding local guide Leo, they sneak into the closed-off Isola di Parissi, where Mia falls in love with both the country and her guide.

But as they uncover hidden and handwritten notes, Mia learns of a heartbreaking mistake her grandmother made during WWII that tore apart the island community.

Will Mia be forced to leave Italy and her newfound love forever?

An epic, heart-wrenching tale based on the incredible true story of an island at war. Fans of Lucinda Riley, Fiona Valpy and Victoria Hislop will be utterly gripped.

Barbara Josselsohn is an award-winning journalist and novelist. She is the author of the "Lake Summers" series set in the fictional town of Lake Summers, nestled in the Adirondacks Mountains, which includes the books "The Lilac House" and "The Bluebell Girls".
