Searching for a story to adapt for film, an aspiring screenwriter becomes captivated by a bestselling classic novel—and the mysterious disappearance of the woman who wrote it. 1940 Via Belle’s sweet romance novels made readers believe in happily ever after, but her own life was far more complicated. While her first husband was alive, her creativity thrived in a beautiful stone estate overlooking a pristine lake and moonflower garden. After his tragic death and a whirlwind second marriage shrouded in secrets, Via vanished from public life, leaving behind a shadow of scandal . . . and her final story. 2006 Screenwriter Harper Rayne is desperate for a breakthrough—if only she can find the right story to tell. When she begins researching her late mother’s favorite novelist, she never expects the project to become personal. Drawn to the quaint Pennsylvania town where both her mother and Via once lived, Harper discovers more than just a mystery to solve—she finds echoes of her own longing for love, healing, and home. As long-buried secrets come to light, Harper must decide whether to protect the past or rewrite this particular ending.
