Sinopsis

'I love you. Of course I do. But we havenâÇÖt any choice in the matter, do we? If our little boyâÇÖs health, even his survival, is at stake, we have to do whatever it takes.'á1928, New York City: Ellen and Lucas Lyman have made a heart-wrenching decision to leave their beloved Amherst Island behind in search of a new life. The island was once the home of their hearts: where they had met as children, become friends, and over time found love.áBut New York City was calling, and it was everything theyâÇÖd hoped for and more. With Lucas making money on the stock market, and Ellen finding fulfilment as a mother, at first they are happy raising their family, together, in the most exciting city in the world.áUntil their beloved son Jamie becomes perilously ill, and Ellen is given an impossible choice.áWith Lucas unable to leave his job, it is down to her to take Jamie to a place he might recover even if it means making the journey across America without him.áEllen knows what she must do. What every mother would do to save their child. Even if it takes her further away from the man she loves - and every place she has called home - than ever before.áThis is the fourth novel in the unmissable Amherst Island series that follows the life and love of a once-orphan girl called Ellen. Set in 1920s New York, California and Canada, itâÇÖs an unmissable read, perfect for fans of The Oceans Between Us, The Orphan Sisters, and My Name is Eva.áReaders love Kate Hewitt:'An emotionally charged story right from the first chapter...
