Publisher's Synopsis
Alone, homeless, and penniless, Joan faces an unimaginable reality: her husband... accused of killing their son. Could there be another truth behind this unthinkable act?
Joan wakes up in a strange hospital, her voice gone, and with no idea how she got there or why. Centuries ago, a family friend gave Joan and her family a potion to heal them, but it had an unexpected side effect: immortality. Now, homeless and nearly penniless, she clings to the short letter from her son, apologizing for something she can't remember, and the few coins that he left her. Where is he? Why did he leave her? Joan is a puppeteer, with only a small amount of money and her beloved puppets to her name. But without her voice, how can she perform? Her only thought is to find her son and her husband, but she has no idea where to start. Her sole support is a woman, who runs a refuge, her friend for the past two years. Joan's only hope is to regain her memory and find her family. With determination and the help of her friend, she embarks on a journey that spans over four centuries, piecing together her past, and with only hope of reuniting with her loved ones. How will she manage without her voice, her art, and her family? The emotions of fear, hope, and resilience drive her forward in this quest for answers and reunion. Find out how - and HAPPY READING!
