BLURB
1968, Srinagar, Kashmir and Nina is devastated by the death
of her new-born baby girl.
Sister Angela and Father Michael at the mission hospital
step in to nurse Nina back to health
but when the friendship between Nina and Father Michael
turns to love, Michael makes a
decision which will resonate through the years.
It is 1981 and in Kinsale, Ireland, Nina, devoted to her son
Joshua, lives a loveless existence,
but a chance encounter changes everything. Michael is back
in her life, he leaves the

But when past and present collide, their whole world is
turned upside down.
Only by facing the consequences of what has gone before, can
Nina and Michael embrace
the future.
Janna Gray guides us masterfully through this poignant story
of love, loss, betrayal and
hope.
EXCERPT
Thongkla Prison squatted like a malevolent toad in a swamp
of stinking mud, the walls crumbling like cream-crackers where inclement
weather and pollution had eroded its fabric, staining the formerly pale grey
stone with leprous patches of grime and mildew.
The stench of sewage and unwashed bodies filled nostrils and lacquered
throats with a stinking, oily film.
After being accused of possessing marijuana in a quantity
that indicated trafficking, Nina had been incarcerated in this hell-hole for
the past three months. Greg had arranged for James Pembroke, one of Bangkok's
finest legal brains, to take her case. Having been raised in Thailand he spoke
the language fluently, thus avoiding the need for an interpreter which was a
vital asset in a country where all legal transactions were carried out in Thai.
The prognosis for was not promising.
‘Your fiancée is in a devil of a mess, Dr. McKinley. I'm
sure you realise that trafficking is a criminal offence in Thailand. Our
country has a very real problem with drug smuggling across the borders with
Burma and Laos and officials here are determined to stamp out this illegal and
highly dangerous activity. I don't need to remind you that if found guilty,
Miss Maitland will be executed or serve a life sentence?’
AUTHOR BIO
Janna Gray grew up in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and was educated at
boarding schools in
Kodaikanal, South India and Derbyshire, England. She trained
to be a teacher in London
where she met and married her husband Simon. His job took
them to Singapore, Hong Kong
and Thailand where she raised two sons, worked at British
and International schools and
wrote articles for newspapers and magazines.
Currently living in the UAE, Janna was the Senior Mistress
(a title which caused much
merriment among her colleagues!) and Head of Pastoral Care
at Repton School before
trading her marking pens and report cards for the world of
writing novels. She enjoys
travelling and sailing and had a love-hate relationship with
exercise until she discovered
the joy of Zumba where the trainers turn a blind eye to her
inability to remember dance
sequences. She sings in the shower and with choirs, has an
allergy to golf and recently
discovered the allure of oils and acrylics – a delightfully
messy way to express her inner
artist.
