From The Publisher:
A woman delves into a centuries-old murder to find the truth behind her self-destructive behavior in a powerful novel about love, loss, and healing by the bestselling author of An Unfinished Story and The Stars Don't Lie.
Unable to catch a break in life or love as she approaches thirty, Charli Thurman sees red lights at every crossroads. And given the Thurman family's tumultuous history, she knows things will only get worse, unless she can break the cycle and figure out where-and when-it all went wrong.
Charli is skeptical when her best friend introduces her to a "soul reader" who specializes in generational trauma. But during family constellation therapy with the guru, Charli experiences an inexplicable memory of terrible violence. Whatever happened in the past, it created an imbalance that's still in the Thurman blood.
When Charli's research leads her to Winchester, England, she meets a charming pub owner named Noah, whose own family history is similarly twisted. As the mystery deepens around a damaged inheritance and a tragic death, Charli is resolved to find the truth-and create the fresh start she has been hoping for her whole life.
