"Megan's world is destroyed when her husband of over thirty years dies unexpectedly. On the anniversary of his death, still heartbroken and disconsolate, Megan receives a mysterious package from Cornwall. It jolts her out of her cloistered world and gives her new strength. She needs that strength. The world awaiting her is full of contradictions -confusion, disappointment, delight. The parcel contains a journal written a century earlier, and with it comes a strange request. But who is the author? Raised in New Zealand by her grandmother, Megan knows nothing about her past. She embarks on a journey to Cornwall and Florence, one of discovery and personal renewal, following in the footsteps of the journal's author. She learns about the art world linking these places, finds new family, forges new friendships and exposes secrets that change her life. Can she also find love again?"-- Back page.
