Julien Laurent's life was built on goodbyes.
From city to city, country to country, his only constant was his mother, Camille - until the day Rome stole her from him forever.
Grieving and lost, Julien discovers a letter hidden among her things... a letter that unravels everything he thought he knew.
A twin brother.
A father across the ocean.
A family that was never whole.
When the truth pulls him from the streets of Paris to the quiet fields of Nebraska, Julien must face the man who never raised him - and the brother who grew up in the life he was denied.
Two boys. Two halves of the same story.
And one question that could change everything:
Can love grow from the pieces left behind?
