A Great Love Story

A chance encounter. A love that defies the odds. A promise that must be kept.

When rebellious young Edith and disciplined sea captain Andrea cross paths on a ferry between Venice and Greece, neither expects their fleeting connection to change the course of their lives. At first, they resist—too different, too unlikely—but fate has other plans. What follows is an extraordinary love story: secret beginnings, painful separations, hidden truths, and moments of unexpected joy. Together, they build a life on a windswept Mediterranean island, restoring an abandoned home and filling it with love, laughter, and light.

Now, Andrea is alone. Mourning Edith’s absence, he finds solace in tending to her cherished garden and bees, searching for meaning in her loss. But before she was gone, Edith made him promise one thing: to reconcile with their estranged daughter, Amy, and reclaim the family they almost lost.

As Andrea embarks on this deeply personal journey, he must confront old wounds, uncover the truth about his past, and learn whether love can truly heal all things.

A luminous novel about love, loss, and the enduring strength of the human spirit, this is a story of reconciliation, second chances, and the profound ways our hearts speak—if only we remember how to listen.
