Información sobre este eBook
In a contemporary novel “full of hope and heart,” a midwife in need of reinvention escapes to a remote island—and takes on a new identity (Booklist).
West Virginia midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to comforting her patients. But when her life takes a nosedive, she realizes she hasn’t been tending to her own needs. She decides to take drastic action, running away to a place where no one knows her or the mess she’s left behind.
On Canada’s remote Sea Gull Island, she starts calling herself Sara Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there’s no avoiding the outside world. The residents are friendly, and draw “Sara” into their lives. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local police officer. But as her new life takes shape, a lesson becomes clear: no matter how far you run, you can never really hide from your past.
