About the Book
A timid young woman learns to grasp life with both hands … but will she go too far?
London, 1926
Widowed at a young age, childlike Marcia Fennell is different from other people in indefinable ways. Fearful of the world, she clings to her fiancé Charles Lambert — a man she does not love — in exchange for a life of security and privilege. But everything changes when she meets Roy Beresford.
Smitten by the capricious young playwright, Marcia rashly breaks off her engagement, only to find heartbreak waiting in the wings. But out of Roy’s betrayal comes a long-dreamed-of opportunity — the chance to travel to Italy.
In sun-soaked Florence a whole new world opens up to Marcia, and she begins to unfold like a flower — and to discover the power of her beauty. But as she throws caution to the winds, could she also be throwing her future away?
Is history doomed to repeat itself for Marcia? Can she find a man who truly loves her — not for her body, but for her soul?
Or is she about to walk into heartbreak for a second time?
