Julie, a young midwife, tries to rebuild her life while facing the new challenges of family ties.

After spending a year in Africa to escape an abusive relationship, Julie returns to Paris and joyfully reunites with her sister Loraine, a florist, Loraine's children and their parents who live in Dordogne. Now an experienced midwife, she soon finds a job at a private clinic owned by Victor Le Crétois who takes her under his wing. Her encounter with Sophie, a friend of her nephew's, who has decided to be a surrogate mother in order to finance her studies, troubles Julie's newfound contentment. Will her relationship with Victor, twenty-five years her senior, be enough to bolster her confidence? Will she be able to help Sophie as she struggles with the dilemma of surrogacy?
In this very modern novel, the independent sequel to Le Bruit des silences, that discusses all the consequences of same sex marriage and the right for everyone to have a child, Valérie Gans depicts with tenderness men and women of our time on the road to what they hope will be happiness.
