When Rebecca first sees the young, red-haired and withdrawn boy sitting at the back of the classroom, she can’t help but feel an inexplicable connection. But it’s not him who piques her curiosity… it’s the book he always carries with him. An old book, hidden in a worn briefcase, that seems to hold much more than words.
Driven by an intuition she can’t understand, Rebecca approaches William, unaware that she is about to enter a world of forgotten secrets, deep pain, and impossible loves. The book he guards so carefully is a diary written by Jene, a woman enslaved and sold by her own husband in the 19th century. Day after day, Jene hid her story between the folds of her corset, defying time, silence, and injustice.
What begins as a simple academic curiosity transforms into an intimate and transformative journey. Rebecca and William will be swept away by the force of a story that moves them to their core… a story that not only connects them to the past but reveals something hidden within themselves. What awakens in Rebecca when she reads Jene’s pain? And why does William seem so tied to the fate of a woman he never knew?
Between gunshots, escapes, revealed truths, and a burgeoning passion, Rebecca and William will discover that some stories aren’t just read: they’re lived. And that there are loves that only arise when two souls recognize themselves between the lines of a lost book.
An intense, emotional, and deeply human novel that intertwines the past and present in an unforgettable literary experience.
