About this book
Trapped in a gilded cage of a marriage, Susannah makes a desperate leap toward freedom when a compassionate nun offers her an escape route to Mackinac Island. There, she finds refuge with Magdelaine, a woman carrying her own profound sorrows, who sees in this act of kindness a chance at redemption. As Susannah begins to heal in the company of kindred spirits—each harboring their own secrets and wounds—she discovers that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is let others help us rebuild. This beautifully rendered story celebrates the transformative power of female friendship and the possibility of starting anew, no matter how broken you feel.
