A riveting and poignant novel of one woman's journey to Bali in search of love renewal and a place to call home-perfect for readers of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love and Alex Garland's The Beach.
It starts as a trip to paradise. Sent on assignment to Bali Jamie an American adventure guide imagines spending weeks exploring the island's lush jungles and pristine white sand beaches. Yet three days after her arrival she is caught in Bali's infamous nightclub bombings which irreparably change her life and leave her with many unanswered questions.
One year later haunted by memories Jamie returns to Bali seeking a sense of closure. Most of all she hopes to find Gabe the man who saved her from the attacks. She hasn't been able to forget his kindness-or the spark between them as he helped her heal. Checking into a cozy guest house for her stay Jamie meets the kindly owner who is coping with a painful past of his own and a young boy who improbably becomes crucial to her search. Jamie has never shied away from a challenge but a second chance with Gabe presents her with the biggest dilemma of all: whether she's ready to open her heart.
