Clare Leslie Hall
- From
- the
- author
- of
- Broken
- Country,
- a
- captivating
- drama

- quest
- to
- uncover
- the
- truth
- about
- his
- adoption
- changes
- everything
- he
- knows
- about
- love,
- loss,
- and
- the
- unbreakable
- bonds
- of
- family.Luke
- and
- Hannah
- live
- a
- happy
- and
- stable
- life

- in
- jobs
- they
- love
- as
- they
- prepare
- for
- the
- arrival
- of
- their
- first
- child,
- Samuel.
- All
- his
- life,
- Luke
- has
- known
- he
- was
- adopted,
- but
- he’s
- never
- felt
- the
- need
- to
- seek
- out
- his
- birth
- mother—until
- he
- becomes
- a
- father
- himself.Spurred
- by
- the
- connection
- he
- feels
- to
- his
- son,
- Luke’s
- search
- leads
- him
- to
- his
- birth
- mother
- Alice.
- Their
- first
- encounter
- is
- surreal,
- a
- sharp
- prick
- that
- barely
- scratches
- the
- surface
- of
- a
- painful
- past
- that
- neither
- of
- them
- has
- fully
- confronted.Alice
- sinks
- into
- memories
- of
- her
- life
- as
- a
- young
- artist
- in
- 1970s
- London,
- and
- of
- her
- tragic
- whirlwind
- romance
- with
- an
- enigmatic
- musician
- who
- would
- become
- Luke’s
- father.
- Meanwhile,
- Luke
- spirals
- as
- he
- comes
- face
- to
- face
- with
- his
- feelings
- of
- abandonment
- that
- he
- worked
- so
- hard
- to
- bury.
- But
- at
- least
- Alice
- seems
- keen
- to
- make
- up
- for
- lost
- time
- by
- looking
- after
- Samuel—until
- her
- doting
- grandmother
- act
- takes
- a
- sinister
- turn
- for
- the
- worse.As
- the
- truth
- of
- who
- Alice
- is
- and
- the
- story
- behind
- her
- heartbreaking
- decision
- to
- give
- up
- her
- baby
- come
- to
- light,
- she
- and
- Luke
- must
- reckon
- with
- the
- sacrifices
- they’ve
- made
- in
- the
- pursuit
- of
- love
- and belonging.
