Maddie escapes from busy Dublin to seemingly tranquil Saint-Géyroux, an idyll in rural France.

Can this mysterious beauty help Maddie exorcise her demons?
In this moving, bittersweet, joyously romantic tale by the bestselling author of Going Down and the Mischief books, Maddie Godard confronts her innermost fears, makes new friends, and learns that life really is worth living…
