Winner of the Illumination Award
Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award Finalist

From a vineyard in the south of France to the sophisticated city of Paris, Ella Moreau searches for the hope and love she lost as a young girl when her mother abandoned the family. Ella's journey is portrayed through a heartbroken child, a young woman's struggles during the tumultuous times surrounding World War II, and as a reflective adult.

Through a series of secret paintings, her art becomes the substitute for lost love —the metaphor of her life. But when her paintings are discovered, the intentions of those she loves are revealed.
