Andrea Mason is a concert pianist with a strong passion for music who is still in mourning, even though her husband-and first love-died six years ago. But when Dan, the single father of one of her piano students, enters her life, Andrea finally feels herself coming alive again.

When the relationship between Dan and Andrea fizzles out, he decides to start a new life in Paris-but not before he introduces her to his half-brother Stephen, a gray-eyed writer who bears a striking resemblance to Dan. Stephen, a recent widower himself, is lonely; when he meets Andrea, he suddenly realizes his life is emptier than he ever thought. While Stephen works on his new book, Andrea attempts to fight her strong attraction to him, but with little success-she immediately accepts when he asks her out on a date. Stephen is fighting his own battles, though. Unable to separate himself emotionally from the story he feels compelled to write, he knows he has no choice but to face the demons from his previous life.

In this contemporary romance, two strangers find their way into each other's hearts but will remain there only if they reconcile their own pasts first.

"We did not all come back." Thus begins the rare firsthand account of the extraordinary ordeal of the Karluk, the flagship of explorer Vilhjalmar Stefansson's Arctic expedition of 1913-1916. When ice trapped the Karluk, Stefansson abandoned Captain Robert A. Bartlett and the crew-eleven of whom perished-to their fate. When the ice crushed the Karluk and sank her, Bartlett led the shipwrecked survivors safely to Wrangell Island. From there, with one Inuit companion, he journeyed across 700 miles of frozen seas and Siberian wilderness to return with rescuers. It is a feat that rivals Shackleton's own celebrated efforts to seek for the crew of the Endurance.

This is a new release of the original 1928 edition.
