Publisher's Summary

After heartbreaking losses, Luna craves adventure. An escape into a different world away from her sheltered childhood. Lucien, a young architect and world traveler, finds a stranger’s journal at a café. Despite his pangs of guilt, he’s fascinated and goes on reading. When they meet, Luna is inspired by Lucien’s stories and adventurous spirit to go on a Peace Corps assignment to a rice-growing village in Cambodia. What she finds there defies everything she could ever have imagined. A world steeped in ancient culture and haunted by the lasting ravages of a deadly history.

Can she leave this world unscathed?

An epistolary tale of courage, resilience, and the bonds that bring diverse people together.
