Family, friends, culture, and expectation clash in this heart–wrenching story of a broken marriage – and the battle to repair it. Gabriella Vitadini thought she had the perfect marriage until her husband Tony stopped wanting her, and started wanting other women instead. Throwing him out of the house was the only thing she could do – how does she throw him out of her heart? When a much younger man reminds her that she is still a desirable woman, Gabriella reminds herself that turnabout is fair play. But even a naughty fling can't eject Tony from her thoughts. What happened to their happy marriage? Why did Tony turn away from her? And is there any hope that they can find true love again?

A stunning New York Times bestselling novel that intertwines the stories of an escaped slave in 1852 Virginia and an ambitious young lawyer in contemporary New York and asks: is it ever too late to right a wrong? Lynnhurst, Virginia, 1852. Seventeen-year-old Josephine Bell decides to run away from the failing tobacco farm where she is a slave and nurse to her ailing mistress, the aspiring artist Lu Anne Bell. New York City, 2004. Lina Sparrow, an ambitious first-year associate in an elite law firm, is given a difficult, highly sensitive assignment that could make her career: finding the “perfect plaintiff” to lead a historic class-action lawsuit worth trillions of dollars in reparations for descendants of American slaves. It is through her father, the renowned artist Oscar Sparrow, that Lina discovers Josephine Bell and a controversy rocking the art world: are the iconic paintings long ascribed to Lu Anne Bell really the work of her house slave, Josephine? A descendant of Josephine’s—if Lina can locate one—would be the perfect face for the reparations lawsuit. While following the runaway house girl’s faint trail through old letters and plantation records, Lina finds herself questioning her own family history and the secrets that her father has never revealed: how did Lina’s mother die? And why will he never speak about her?

How pleasant it feels when somebody calls us their lifeline. This all seems very pleasing at one phase but as soon as the relationship grows, the naked reality of the dual nature of our loving partner gets disclosed. Sometimes it is easy to just forget whatever crap that took place in the past, but after getting so close to somebody that you know their aroma, it is quite difficult to erase their memories from the floor of heart. Breakups are not just the end of a relationship but it also shatters the soul, the feeling of getting betrayed and cheated also cannot force the past memories to make their way out from the heart. Instead of cigarettes and shots, sometimes poetry does its best in easing the guilt of broken relationship. The rain shatters the rainbow sometimes, so do relationships-they fade in the colours of life but not memories.
