A love that is fiercer than war!
Julianne Westcott lived a life that most Protestant girls in pre-war Liverpool could only dream of. She had it all: a rich family, silk prom dresses and an army of well-to-do young suitors. But when he learns that his blind and deaf brother has been raised in an institution since birth, the illusion of a carefree life and a perfect family shatters for him.

Julianne secretly visits her brother, and in the process meets and befriends Kyle McCarthy, an Irish Catholic caretaker who is preparing to become a priest. Julianne struggles with her family's expectations, Kyle's commitment to the church, and the intense new feelings of a secret courtship. He must choose between his old life and the bumpy road to love.

But as war sweeps the world, Julianne is forced to leave everything behind due to a tragic accident and build a new life based on lies. However, after twenty years, the truth will find him - will he have the courage to face it?

Follow his fate!
"This fascinating story may remind you of Colleen McCullough's novel Thornbirds. Di Maio plays on the heartstrings of the readers in a virtuoso way. Her clear prose draws the reader into the events, who cannot put the book down until their favorite characters find their true path. The experience of closure the story will stay with us for a long time afterwards."
