"A mother's love built their sanctuary. A long-buried truth is about to test its strength!"
Fifteen years ago, Dr. Sarah Crofton, left behind the shadow of her youth in the foster system to build a life defined by devotion, healing, and family. As the former medical director of a bustling British Columbia hospital, her greatest joy came not from her career, but from adopting baby Evie-her half-Korean, half-Scottish daughter rescued from a dangerous past-and raising her alongside her husband, Daniel, a retired Army captain carrying the physical and hidden scars of Afghanistan.
Together with Daniel, their two sons, Mikey and Dante, their youngest daughter, Nory, and the close-knit bond shared with Daniel's sister Maya and his comrade Mateo, Sarah has cultivated an unbreakable sanctuary along the rain-slicked Canadian coast. To Sarah, Evie is simply her firstborn girl, cherished and protected.
But the fragile peace they have spent a decade and a half constructing shatters on a misty evening when a stranger arrives at their doorstep.
Liam, the estranged brother of Evie's late biological mother, Muriel, brings news of Muriel's death in hospice-and a worn, sealed envelope containing truths fifteen years in the making. As long-buried secrets surface, Evie must confront the heritage she never knew, while Sarah and Daniel must protect their family from the lingering ghosts of a past that threatens to reshape their future.
