In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors.

Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart.

Because some love stories don't unfold. They circle back. And begin again. ••• This is NOT a standalone book.
