She has a strong relationship with her family, and a devoted boyfriend whom she wants to love with all her heart. If Kate had ever made a list, Rowan would fill the imagined boxes of a perfect mate.

Can she travel to the place where it all began, to the one who shares her secret? Can the lost ever become found?
