There were seconds, when I woke, when the world felt unshrouded.Then memory returned.

When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she can think of is fleeing the site of the horror she survived. But Patrick, the steadfast friend who hasnt left her side, urges her to reconsider her decision. Worn down by his loving insistence, she agrees to follow through with the trip theyd planned before the tragedy.

The pages found you, Patrick whispered.

Now you need to figure out what theyre trying to say.

During a stop at a country flea market, Jessica finds a faded document concealed in an antique. As new friends help her to translate the archaic French, they uncover the story of Adeline Baillard, a young woman who lived centuries beforeher faith condemned, her life endangered, her community decimated by the Huguenot persecution.

I write for our descendants, for those who willnot understand the cost of our survival.

Determined to learn the Baillard familys fate, Jessica retraces their flight from France to England, spurred on by a need she doesnt understand.

Could this stranger who lived three hundred years before hold the key to Jessicas survival

An unforgettable portrait of courage and reclaimed hope. Kristy Cambron, award-winning author of the Lost Castle series
