Synopsis

Former New York City flight attendant Annie Taylor is adjusting to farm life when her grandmother threatens to tear down the old stone house, unable to finance a restoration after the summer fire.Annie’s boyfriend Jake has severed his corporate life in Cincinnati and is jumping headlong into sustainable farming on the land next door. Their new relationship is wonderful--but can it last? As they take steps forward, a paralyzing fear of abandonment threatens to destroy her trust in Jake. As Annie works to save the old stone house she finds letters written during World War II that reveal a family mystery and an Italian connection. Her grandmother is hesitant to uncover the secret, afraid of what it might mean to her family’s name if the truth is laid bare. Comments from a nosy neighbor solidify Annie’s fears about herself and when Beulah agrees for Annie to travel to Italy to search out the family mystery, Annie is happy for the time away to sort out all her feelings. In the meantime, Beulah is left with an unexpected Italian-Catholic houseguest who wreaks havoc with Beulah’s Baptist ways and country routine. As the family mystery in Italy unfolds, Annie is forced to face her own past. She is ultimately faced with a choice: will she let history sabotage the future?

Goodreads review by Laura on June 09, 2018

These books keep unexpectedly giving me the feels! This author is superb at conveying emotion without seeming flowery. My one and only dislike about this book is that the question of the stone house is all but gorgeous for a huge chunk. I devoured this book in just a few days. Without giving spoiler......more

Goodreads review by Carmen on February 15, 2024

After reading the first book in the trilogy, I couldn't wait for this one to come out and again I devoured it. My only regret is that I now have to wait for the third book to be written before I can enjoy it as well. I am sure I would love to see these become movies one day as they remind me of Nich......more
