Beneath the Amber sun (Rewritten Edition): As summer rises, step out of shadows and into a golden secret

Some secrets keep best in the dark. Like the cognac ageing quietly in the cellars of a sleepy French village - and like the truth a man can spend an entire lifetime not saying. When Ted and Wendy Miller leave Chicago behind for a sun-drenched corner of the Charente, it has every appearance of a perfect new beginning: a rambling old château, golden vineyards to the horizon, long slow days beneath an endless amber sky. From the outside, they have it all. >Because some summers change everything. Because the heart keeps its own seasons. And because the truest things we own are so often the ones we've buried the deepest - and they have a way of rising, when the season is at last right for them, into the light. Warm, witty, and achingly tender, Beneath the Amber Sun is a story about the masks we wear, the cost of being someone we're not, and the courage it takes to be seen at last - exactly as we are - and find ourselves loved for it anyway. A village of secrets. A summer of second chances. And one heart no longer willing to stay in the dark.
