Ava rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood-one that helped her through the traumas of the untimely deaths of her sister and mother. Alternating with Ava's story is that of her troubled daughter Maggie, who, living in Paris, descends into a destructive relationship with an older man. Ava's mission to find that book and its enigmatic author takes her on a quest that unravels the secrets of her past and offers her and Maggie the chance to remake their lives.

    that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the
    nail on the head. The problem is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I found this in my search for something concerning this.
