Description
Emily Emerson has recently lost her job and is looking for a new purpose in life. When a mysterious parcel comes her way, she’s intrigued. Inside is a painting of a beautiful woman standing at the edge of a sugarcane field, and attached is a note: ‘He never stopped loving her …’ Emily recognises the young woman as her much-missed and beloved grandmother, but where was she, and who sent the painting? As Emily delves further, she uncovers a trail leading to a pivotal moment in twentieth-century American history, and a link with the portrait that reveals long-buried family secrets that ripple through the ages.
