By the author of the International Bestseller Follow Your Heart.


Beneath the hush of falling snow at the close of the year, Clara chooses to spend the holidays alone, confronting her deepest fear. Awaiting a life-altering prognosis, she turns inward, reflecting on the secrets she has kept and the fractures within her family. Seeking clarity and redemption, Clara pens three heartfelt letters.

The first is to Alisha, her adopted daughter from India, now on a journey of self-discovery to reclaim her identity. The second is to Ginevra, her biological daughter, conceived during the adoption process, whose presence brought unexpected complexity. And the third is to Davide, her devoted husband, whose unwavering strength once held the family together—until shocking, unspoken events turned their lives upside down.


Three letters written from the heart, a secret, and a generational legacy.


What if that unexpected decision was suggested to me while I slept by the same angel who had whispered my name to my mother twenty years earlier? Wasn’t this a surprise intrusion of Shivasankalpa? Had the invisible guide granted me the grace of the Spirit so that I should understand the right path to follow? Does this not perhaps happen many times in our life? To what extent does the destiny we build depend on our ability to listen to these mysterious nocturnal whispers? Is there not a very fine silk thread that links the lives destined to meet each other?

Of course, in the inevitable dark times we might sometimes think this invisible thread is woven by a spider rather than an angel, to prepare us for its fatal trap. But in the end, do you know what I think?

That we must accept our fragility, the fact that we are in any case suspended between light and shadow.
