But when weeks turn to months without word from Jake, Dianna must leave her daughters in Texas and return to the land of her birth, where she unearths dangerous truths, and exposes devastating lies, sending her on a race against time to save both the child and the man she loves... a perilous fight to reunite her family... make them, and their hearts, whole again...
