A forbidden love.An impossible decision.A family changed forever...1954. Bea Bell has lived in Grenada her whole life but when she falls in love with handsome surveyor Patrick Anderson, they are swept across a crumbling Empire. They quickly learn that not everyone is as accepting of their interracial marriage, leaving them with an impossible decision that might tear them apart.

2015. Since her mother's death, it has fallen to Amelia to tirelessly take care of her family and sell their family home. But when she is packing her family's memories, she finds a handwritten letter which unveils a long-held secret and reveals how little she truly knows about herself . . .

Heart-wrenching and sweeping, The Mapmaker's Wife is a sweeping love story that will both break your heart and put it back together. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore and Louise Hare.
