To Whom Do I Belong? And Where Do I Fit In?
Eight-year-old Delah makes a shocking discovery: her father isn’t whom she thinks he is. In postwar England, single mothers are treated as outliers. With only an old, faded photo and a name – one L.H.J. Harper, an American G.I. – Delah, now an impoverished teenager, sets out on a global quest to find a lost love. At stake is a mother’s heart.
Rejection, loneliness, and physical assault threaten to derail her mission, but she vows never to quit. An intriguing cast of memorable mentors gather: a beloved English aristocrat, a flirtatious Indian Maharajah, a Spanish classical pianist, and a renowned Parisian couturier. The hands and hearts of these angels diligently mold her metamorphosis.
But darker forces threaten and even jeopardize her life, as a Bedouin Tribal leader in Kuwait bargains camels for her; a rumored French spy pulls her into his dangerous world in Australia, and when a million-dollar ransom is placed on her head, a gun-toting bodyguard is hired. All before a young American with a talent for hunting serendipitously appears, drawing Delah to America. This encounter unveils some simple universal truths.
But what she finds… is the last thing she expects.
