A story of love,
loss & beginning again

WHAT THIS BOOK EXPLORES

Themes that will
linger with you

Five years after the heartbreak of losing her young son, Sara Mortimer knows her marriage is hanging by a thread.

In a last attempt to save it, she suggests a summer in Tuscany — hoping the rolling hills and golden light might bring her husband back.

But as Marcus drifts further away, Sara begins to wonder if she's fighting for her marriage — or for herself.

Grief & loss

Midlife reinvention

Second chance love

Marriage breakdown

Self-discovery

Life in Tuscany

Quiet courage

"And when a long-buried secret comes to light, Sara must decide where her heart truly belongs.

Because if she doesn't choose herself now, she may regret it forever."

A NOTE FROM SUSIE

"Tuscany healed me, shaped me, and found its way into every word I write. Sara's journey is not my journey — but the landscape that holds her is very much mine."
