A feel-good, uplifting tale of two women who make a life-changing connection.

In Ethiopia, beautiful Sylvie's successful life is derailed by a disastrous childbirth. With no money and no hope, all seems lost.

In London, feisty Juliet is struggling with the many challenges facing a female surgeon as well as inner traumas of her own. Unsure how to balance career, love and life, she escapes to Ethiopia.

Under the vast African sky, these two women's lives are unexpectedly brought together. Can they help each other come to terms with their pasts? And will they be able to see a bright future on the horizon?

Published with the support of global best-selling writer Alexander McCall Smith.
