Summer 1941 Young Adelia Montforte flees fascist Italy for America, where she is whisked away to the shore by her well-meaning aunt and uncle.
And in a final, fateful choice, Addie discovers that the way home may be a path she never suspected..
But the past always nips at her heels, demanding to be reckoned with.
Grief-stricken, Addie flees--first to Washington and then to war-torn London--and finds a position at a prestigious newspaper, as well as a chance to redeem lost time, lost family...and lost love.
But all hopes for a future together are soon throttled by the war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home.
Here, she meets and falls for Charlie Connally, the eldest of the four Irish-Catholic boys next door.
