Linda is entering her third life. Her last chapter ended in tragedy and heartbreak. She has left her family home in Leipzig, escaping to a rural farmhouse in the Saxon countryside. Here, Linda's days are quiet and simple, revolving around the upkeep of the house, feeding the chickens and tending the garden.

But a chance encounter with her neighbour punctures Linda's routine. And through this new, surprising friendship, Linda begins to reach once more towards happiness.

In her signature crafted prose, bestselling author Daniela Krien explores what it means to meet another version of yourself later in life, and how to surrender to new realms of love and acceptance.
