Now\, 70 years later\, her secret is unraveling. \nAt ninety years old\, Audrey Thorpe still lives in a historic mansion on palm-tree-lined Victory Drive\, determined to retain her independence. But when her health begins to fade\, her family hires a part-time caregiver\, Laurel. The two women seem to bond-until Audrey disappears. Unbeknownst to Laurel\, Audrey has harbored a secret for 70 years\, since her time as a nurse in the South Pacific during World War II. \nAs the story moves between the verdant jungles of the war-torn Philippines and the glitter of modern-day Savannah\, Georgia\, friendships new and old are tested. Along the way\, Audrey grapples with one of life’s heart-wrenching truths: You can only outrun your secrets for so long. \nHeather Bell Adams is the author of the novels\, Maranatha Road (West Virginia University Press 2017) and The Good Luck Stone (Haywire Books 2020).
