About this book

Quinn Maguire has built a stable life with a fiancé and clear plans for her future. Her mother's deathbed confession shatters this certainty: the man Quinn has resented for thirty years as her absent father is not her biological father. Driven to uncover the truth, Quinn travels to Maui, her mother's childhood home, seeking answers about her mother's past and her own identity. The island holds secrets that could reshape everything Quinn thought she knew about herself and her family. However, Quinn's search becomes complicated by her fiancé's doubts about her choices and the emotional weight of uncovering family history. As she spends time on Maui and digs deeper into her origins, Quinn begins to discover not only the truth about her past, but also who she was meant to become.
