Description

At sixteen, Emmie Blue sends a balloon drifting across the Channel with her name, email address, and a secret she can no longer keep to herself. When French teenager Lucas Moreau finds it, their chance encounter grows into a lifelong friendship—one that Emmie hopes will eventually become something more. Now, at twenty-nine, she has built her world around Lucas while allowing other parts of her life to fall away, but an unexpected question forces her to reconsider everything she believes about love, loyalty, and belonging. Warm, poignant, and emotionally perceptive, this story explores the courage it takes to let go of long-held dreams and make room for a life of your own.
