Ashley Baxter Blake is finally showing her art in Paris, which is a dream come true. It also brings up memories of her time there 23 years ago, when she was impressionable and fell into a relationship with a married artist. Her niece, Jessie, is spending the summer in Paris, where she has fallen in love with Gabe, whose mother, Alice, with a troubled past of her own, has a surprising connection to Ashley. Kingsbury's fans will be familiar with many of the characters from her Baxter novels: Ashley and her husband, Landon; her father, John; her oldest son, Cole. But newcomers to the series will get enough background information to enjoy this story. As Ashley fights her painful memories, Landon reminds her that her faith can get her through anything, a conclusion that many of the characters in the book have also drawn for themselves. There's a seemingly random assassination subplot, but it just serves Kingsbury's message that there are no coincidences when God is involved. Readers of Christian fiction will enjoy this latest Baxter tale.
