One morning I woke up in an unfamiliar place.
Now I am the widow of the tavern owner and the mother of seven children. Along with the tavern, I inherited crushing debts and long-ago secrets. To keep from losing myself, I’ll have to earn my living, unravel the knots of the past, and answer the most important question: why was I the one who ended up here?
I’m not used to backing down, but if I had known in advance what was waiting for me, I would have thought a hundred times about whether it was worth getting involved. Or maybe it would have been simpler to marry again and live quietly—without drawing attention.
