The past is never far behind.
Senia Loato's life has been needled by disappointment, and the wounds that fester go beyond skin deep. She is certain that if she puts miles between her and her tainted past, she will somehow outrun it.When she's offered the chance to leave her island home of Mintang to become an au pair for three boys in Germany, she takes the opportunity to start running. In Germany, she meets Miina, another African au pair. What builds between them is a life-defining friendship-one they will risk everything for. And soon, they'll be asked nothing less.
When Miina is betrayed and left stranded, Senia stands by her, risking much more than just her stay in Germany. She also stands to lose rich, handsome, turquoise-eyed Roman Dorenwald, the first man she has allowed into her heart. But they're risks worth taking.
Eventually, Senia makes a sacrifice that catapults her back to her past, where she's forced to draw back the curtain and discover the shocking truth of her history. Can she confront her nightmares, reach deep into her soul, and forgive those who have hurt her? Or is it easier to just keep running?
This story was partly inspired by true events.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING All I can say is wow! I didn't know what to expect, I sure was not expecting what I got out of this book. I had not read a book by this author to say she floored me just doesn't explain what I felt when reading it. Cyn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Read this book!! It is just wonderful and truly inspiring. I am a very fussy reader and will certainly look for more of Liz Davis's books. The other reviews will tell you all about it but I encourage you to start reading it NOW!! Motor Vessel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story could be downbeat and depressing, but instead it's a delight, a revelation, and a joy, with wonderful messages of hope hidden between the lines. It's highly recommended. Sheila Deeth ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Honeysuckle and Jasmine is a beautifully woven story that captures the true meaning of friendship and love and the healing powers they possess. Linda Juliano ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
