Danielle Steel nos trae una historia sobre perdón, amor y traición, ambientada en el seno de una familia adinerada y tradicional del sur de Estados Unidos. Hace más de una década que Alexa Hamilton partió de Charleston sin trabajo, con una hija pequeña y el corazón hecho añicos. Ahora es una prestigiosa fiscal neoyorquina que se enfrenta al caso más importante de su carrera: la acusación de un presunto asesino en serie. Durante la investigación, la hija de Alexa comienza a recibir amenazas de alguien que la vigila. A pesar de haber cortado todo contacto con su ex marido, Alexa se traga el orgullo y le pide que se lleve a la joven a vivir con él una temporada a Charleston, donde estará a salvo. Tom Beaumont no ha cambiado nada, sigue siendo el caballero apuesto y atractivo que Alexa una vez adoró, pero con una diferencia fundamental: hace mucho que se arrepiente de haber abandonado a la mujer de su vida y ahora quiere recuperarla a toda costa. English Description Assistant D.A. Alexa Hamilton has just been handed the kind of case that makes careers: the trial of accused serial killer Luke Quentin. Sifting through mountains of forensic evidence, Alexa relentlessly builds her case and prepares for a high-stakes trial . . . until threatening letters throw her private life into turmoil. The letters are addressed to Alexa's beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Savannah, who Alexa has raised alone since her painful divorce years before. Alexa is certain that Quentin is behind the letters - and that they are too dangerous to ignore. Suddenly Alexa must make the toughest choice of all - and send her daughter back to the very place that Alexa swore she would never return: to her ex-husband's world of southern tradition, long memories, and the antebellum charm of Charleston. While Alexa's trial builds to a climax in New York, her daughter is settling into southern life, discovering a part of her family history she's never known. As a family's wounds are exposed and the healing begins, Alexa and Savannah, after a season in different worlds, will come together again - strengthened by the trials they have faced, changed by the mysteries they have unraveled, armed with miracles that are uniquely their own.
