THIS beautiful story follows a variety and colourful array of characters. The first of which is a lady named Meredith, a mother and a movie star who has become a recluse, who has lost so much and resorted to shutting herself off from the world when she tragically lost her son in an accident. As the years go by, she once again finds her voice and power during a tragic time when an earthquake hits her neighbourhood.

With the help of the people around her, she is able to overcome her fears, finds love and also assists a broken Julia, a battered mother of two who has been living under the shadow of her pompous husband. She has fought to survive and lived on to build a safe environment for her kids.

Another one of the storylines follows a blossoming love between Peter and Ava, a couple who, if they want their relationship to succeed, need to be completely transparent with one another.

A blind man, who plays a piano, opens his home to his young aide and acts as a father figure when trouble brews. Charles, a retired man, enters into the fray and exposes the crooks who were mismanaging and pilfering an estate.

From broken spirits that are revived, those with bruised hearts and others who learn to forgive and thrive, this novel is a fabulous, easy read. Each one of whom is trying find the best way forward to rebuild and move on after the storm passes.
