Product Description
"""Diane? Get back in the house, you''''ll drown out here."" The familiar voice echoed from her past.
Trembling, both from the intensity of the storm and Peter’s sudden appearance, she turned and ran towards the house ahead of him, her emotions now revolving through happiness to anger – and back again. Typical, she thought crossly as he politely stood on the threshold. But, his intense blue eyes found hers.
As always, Peter was reading into her very soul, recognising her years of sorrow and despair. . . .
. . . their stories begin. Diane’s early years and later when Peter’s life tangled with hers. More than thirty years, are about to unfold and be laid bare.
Broken marriages; kidnap; abuse; attempted rape; a fight out of the black abyss of alcoholism and Peter’s staunch support from Linda, the child who entered his life like a guardian angel. Diane’s stories are woven through a bold tapestry of babies growing up, marriages, and the births of a second generation, whilst Peter’s are told against the spectacular backdrop of the Dolomites.
With Diane’s steadfast commitment to family life in England, always at odds with Peter’s passion for the freedom of a less conventional life in Italy, it appears they are destined to remain apart . ."
