From the author of Lithuanian Lullaby, a 1990s journey to London, Lebanon & Lithuania... It wasn't supposed to happen. While on a business trip to Beirut, George is taken captive during a taxi heist. It goes badly for all involved, but it's about to get so much worse. As George becomes an accidental hostage, he also falls victim to a world that has forgotten him. He has one connection to the outside - the warden's daughter, a teenage girl, who teaches him about love and the perspective of her people. Will those learnings be enough to navigate his new life as a free man?
It was hard for Tanja to lose the love of her life. The news was devastating and came just before the birth of their second daughter. As the months and years pass, she rebuilds her life. She returns to her hometown in Lithuania and, through tragedy, finds new love. But her worlds collide when George resurfaces; Tanja is now captive to her past and present, but for very different reasons. Tanja has made many choices since losing her husband, but the most difficult one is still ahead.
In a world of secrets, love can be a strange thing.
