 Available on Amazon Kobo APPLE Barnes&Noble And most online retailers March 21, 2019 | “Two men... two worlds... one desperate Promise...” If Anna had only known how the simple push of a button would turn her life upside down, she would never have pressed ‘Play.’ Just 22 seconds into the recording she’s hit by the realization that, if the voice in the thick German accent is right, she has been living with an unthinkable lie for the past thirty years. There is only one way to find out: Follow the instruction left by a dead person and head back to Germany, to a life Anna has next to no conscious memory of. To her surprise, she finds an unexpected ally in Peter, an old childhood friend whose law degree and language skills prove to be more than useful. Besides, he has the most gorgeous blue eyes and the uncanny ability to push Anna's buttons without the slightest effort. At every turn, their search for answers is littered with more lies and revelations. Anna must ultimately decide whether even the noblest of ends, truly justify the means and whether some secrets should better stay buried. "An intriguing premise and evocative character development, paired with a diabolical plot, equals a must-read book for fans of intelligently-written stories with a wicked twist. A woman's explorations into her mother's past and the heritage she left behind lead her to revelations she may wish she'd never known. A tale definitely worth reading!" Christie M. / Netgalley Reviewer "The author wrote a thriller that started with a bang and just kept going! The twists kept coming, so I couldn't put it down. I cannot wait to read more from this author!" Cristie U, Netgalley Reviewer "The pacing of the book is fantastic. I read this book in just two settings and that’s only because I had to go to bed. I literally couldn’t put it down, it was that good. I just HAD to know what was going on." Harlie's Books / Book Reviews "Engrossing and captivating tale about a family’s secrets and a woman’s quest to unearth them. Full of drama, emotions, intrigue and a touch of romance, this story enthralled me and I couldn’t put it down. - Very well done!" Judy M. / Goodread Review |

 Available on Amazon US Amazon UK And your local Amazon Kobo Barnes&Noble | Because some parts of our past can never be buried deeply enough… Julia has never been one to surrender without a fight, but when she receives a devastating diagnosis, she has a decision to make. Even after thirty years, she can still see her mother slowly fading away with every dose of chemo, every round of radiation, and every lost shred of hope. No, she won't do it... not to her family... and not to herself! Without warning, she packs up her belongings and disappears, leaving behind a life that, by all accounts, had been as perfect as they come, and a distraught family full of questions. Finding solace in a beach house in Northern California turns out to have its complications though. While only a handful of other residents share the tiny beach community, each one has brought their own baggage and developed their own way of dealing with it. All Julia wants is to be left alone, but that simply does not seem to be an option, especially when there's a persistent bird that declares her to be his new best friend. Haunted by the shadows of the past, Julia is struggling to cope with the present. Will she have the strength to do this alone and eventually follow through with her plan? Will her family, divided by mixed reactions to being abandoned, come together to try and track her down? And what is the deal with that pelican of hers? Only time will tell - and time is the one thing Julia does not have... "Wow. So it has been a while since I have found myself crying through a book, but this was an incredibly well-written tear-jerker of a story! A book that will take you on one hell of a rollercoaster of emotions."
