A deeply moving story about loss, hope, and finding love when you least expect it. By German bestselling author Karin Lindberg
Searching for inspiration and a break from her hectic life, TV writer Maja makes a spontaneous she leaves Berlin behind and moves to a quiet suburb in northern Germany. She needs distance—from her demanding job, from the city's chaos, and maybe even from herself.
But peace and quiet aren't what she finds. Instead, she meets her neighbor Bjarne and his two children, Noah and Zoe, whose once-happy life was shattered by the sudden death of their mother. Deeply moved by their loss, Maja finds herself drawn to the family, especially to seven-year-old Noah, whose sadness and silence break her heart.
As Maja steps in to help wherever she can, Bjarne struggles with his grief and the unexpected warmth of this vibrant stranger who's entered their lives. And Maja, too, finds herself questioning everything—her feelings, her future, her place in this broken family's world.
Neither of them realizes that life itself is about to provide the answers they're searching for.
