The new touching novel by the bestselling author of "You, Me, and the Colors of Life." When Florence breaks through the ice and sinks into the cold waters of the mountain lake, it could have been the last day in the life of the musical performer. However, the young doctor Martin brings her back to shore. For the two of them, it marks the beginning of a love story, surrounded by the fates, wishes, and secrets of a village community in French Switzerland. There also lives Zoé, the little girl whom Florence cares for lovingly, along with her mother Claire, whose hopes of owning a hotel have failed. Between Martin and Florence lies an unspoken secret that reaches back into their personal past. He still does not know the true reason for her dance on the ice, and she knows nothing of his heavy fate. Noa C. Walker masterfully weaves together the lives and destinies.
