Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of life-changing fiction brings her signature “emotional, heart-tugging” (Woman’s World) prose to this wise and worldly novel of forgiveness and hope in the City of Lights.

In Indiana, Ashley Baxter Blake and her husband are about to take an anniversary trip to Paris, but she is hesitant. More than two decades ago, she made her most grievous mistake in that same city. She has never forgiven herself for what happened there, and she still harbors secrets that she’s afraid will come to light. Just before the trip, Ashley gets a call from her niece. Jessie explains that her French boyfriend’s mother remembers working at a bakery with an American named Ashley. “Could that be you?”

When Alice and Ashley meet, a flood of memories comes for both women, taking Ashley back to a reckless affair and an unexpected pregnancy and Alice to the night she nearly ended it all. Can this reunion bring healing and closure? Maybe it is finally time for Ashley to forgive herself...and Paris.

    Once again, Karen Kingsbury has cleverly crafted a story of forgiveness and the beauty of what can happen if forgiveness is achieved. From the presentation to the characters seamless integration with Ashley’s original story, I was never bored with this book. I originally thought that I would just borrow this book from the library, but instead it was given to me as a present. And I am glad, because I read this book almost more than any other book.
  • AMAZING!

    Loved the author’s style of writing and especially appreciated the closed door sex scenes. It was hard to follow the story line at first with so many characters. When it all fell into place with me, I could not put the book down. I was especially touched with the reminder that we can make a difference in people’s lives. The fact that the principal characters promoted Christian values as well as the quoted Bible verses was also a reminder that people see us and judge us by our actions and not our words. We must always be vigilant in making sure our actions and words give God the glory. He can work miracles in our lives and the lives of others and this author’s words were a needed reminder that God loves us with unfailing love even when we fail Him. One of the few books that made me sad that I had turned the last page of a great and inspiring book.

    It’s a book I needed. A book everyone with shame or guilt or hurt needs to read. It will bring healing. This is the best book out of the Baxter series

    What I love about Karen Kingsbury books are they reflect real life instead of fantasy. God said, we will have mountains and valleys, her books show us that but how God never leaves us.

    Loved getting the background of Ashley being in Paris. Loved the ‘little boats’ analogy.
