| Summary |
Travelling restlessly from country to country with her beautiful, capricious mother, Theodora Cairns led a rootless, nomadic childhood. But at age eleven, Theo's mother abandoned her at boarding school and didn't contact her again for ten years. Now, twenty years later, a painful divorce behind her, Theo is still struggling to get over childhood abandonment. When she meets and falls for Fergus Costello, a man with his own demons, he urges her to seek a reconciliation with her mother. But, before she can do so, a chance discovery causes Theo to question everything her mother ever told her about the past. Where did Theo's mother disappear to for those missing ten years? What is she hiding? Who is Theo's real father? Her search for answers will take Theo to Vermont in the USA, but, when she gets there, will she be able to handle the disturbing truth?--From front inside book jacket flap. |
