When Isabel Perez travels to Barcelona to save her sister Beatriz, she discovers a shocking family secret in New York Times bestselling author Chanel Cleeton’s new novel.

Barcelona, 1964. Exiled from Cuba after the revolution, Isabel Perez has learned to guard her heart and protect her family at all costs. After Isabel’s sister Beatriz disappears in Barcelona, Isabel goes to Spain in search of her. Joining forces with an unlikely ally thrusts Isabel into her sister’s dangerous world of espionage, but it’s an unearthed piece of family history that transforms Isabel’s life.

Barcelona, 1936. Alicia Perez arrives in Barcelona after a difficult voyage from Cuba, her marriage in jeopardy and her young daughter Isabel in tow. Violence brews in Spain, the country on the brink of civil war, the rise of fascism threatening the world. When Cubans journey to Spain to join the International Brigades, Alicia’s past comes back to haunt her as she is unexpectedly reunited with the man who once held her heart.

Alicia and Isabel’s lives intertwine, and the past and present collide, as a mother and daughter are forced to choose between their family’s expectations and following their hearts.

Another great read by the author

I enjoyed the book. Would welcome a tree connecting the characters on authors web site. Some confusion as time before each reading.

Not just another sequel

It’s not too often that a writer can keep readers engaged through several sequels. Ms. Cleeton has kept me captivated throughout each of these.

WOW‼️‼️‼️

What a powerful story with real world connections. Having seen Picasso’s Guernica, the end of this book pulled at my heart and brought forth my rage related to war especially as the war in Ukraine causes such sorrow and destruction in 2022.

To be truthful it was difficult to follow the ladies in the story as the time and setting changed. To my untrained ear the voices were not “different” enough to help me.

I am so excited to see where this author will take me next?????😍
