Description: "When Olivia arrives at her mother's chateau in rural France with her two young children in tow, it is the first time she has come home in more than a decade. Soon the family is joined by Olivia's brother Marcus and his wife Sophie--but this reunion is far from joyful. After years of desperately wanting a baby, Sophie has just given birth to a stillborn child, and she is struggling to overcome her devastation. Meanwhile, Olivia wrestles with her own secrets about the cruel and violent man she married many years before."--Page 2 of cover.
