Book description
Sometimes the only way forward is to go back.
Ten years have passed since David Mortimer last saw Anna Russell.
Their love affair abruptly ended when Anna disappeared.
Drifting through life ever since, David has never married, and is
devoted only to his scientific work and to the book he has always
meant to write, the story of the extraordinary plant explorer in
China, Ernest Wilson.
But David's isolation is about to change. He receives news that Anna
has been seriously injured in an accident. More devastating still is
the revelation that he has a daughter, Rachel, whom he has never seen.
Both mother and daughter now urgently need his help - and more than
one danger is threatening them.
This is a story of two journeys, separated by time and place, but
with the same goal. To find a way through the mountains, and to bring
back something of infinite beauty that might otherwise have been lost forever.
