The Heart Remembers

A Family's Hidden History. A Love Lost to War. A Woman Searching for Truth.

In the wake of uncovering decades-old love letters in her grandmother's attic, Clara James thought the mystery had been solved. But a single envelope-addressed to someone entirely unexpected-shatters that illusion.

When her mother refuses to answer questions and Eliot, her partner, grows wary of her obsession with the past, Clara makes a life-altering decision: she boards a plane to Europe, determined to follow the faded trail of a forgotten wartime romance. What she finds in the quiet villages of France and among censored archives is more than a story-it's a hidden legacy of passion, sacrifice, and defiance.

As Clara pieces together the life of Mathieu Dubois, a Resistance fighter and the man her grandmother once loved, she is forced to confront not only buried truths about her family-but also the cracks in her own heart. With Eliot reentering her life at a fragile crossroads, Clara must ask herself: can the heart truly love in two lifetimes? And what happens when history demands you choose?

Rich in emotion and historical depth, The Heart Remembers is the unforgettable second installment in the Seasons of the Heart trilogy-a novel about what endures, what fades, and the courage it takes to remember.
