Publisher's Summary

The number one New York Times best-selling author of life-changing fiction brings her signature “emotional, heart-tugging” (Woman’s World) prose to this wise and worldly novel of forgiveness and hope in the City of Lights.

In Indiana, Ashley Baxter Blake and her husband are about to take an anniversary trip to Paris, but she is hesitant. More than two decades ago, she made her most grievous mistake in that same city. She has never forgiven herself for what happened there, and she still harbors secrets that she’s afraid will come to light. Just before the trip, Ashley gets a call from her niece. Jessie explains that her French boyfriend’s mother remembers working at a bakery with an American named Ashley. “Could that be you?”

When Alice and Ashley meet, a flood of memories comes for both women, taking Ashley back to a reckless affair and an unexpected pregnancy and Alice to the night she nearly ended it all. Can this reunion bring healing and closure? Maybe it is finally time for Ashley to forgive herself...and Paris.

Paris always was a great plan

When an opportunity of a lifetime opens up in Paris, Ashley revisits her past and is challenged to see all that happened so long ago in a whole new light. We’re given a glimpse into what happened so long ago. Moving story with a happy outcome.

Christian literature not my cup of tea

I guess I should have guessed what kind of book this was after the introduction, but I was hoping it was just a character build for the main characters mother, but religion was placed in this book every other page. I found my eyes rolling too frequently for me to enjoy the story. The concept was good and the story would have been amazing if I didn't feel like I was being indoctrinated.
