Overview

At sixty-seven, Dr. Eleanor Hartwell has spent forty years hiding behind Sappho's ancient poetry—studying desire while denying her own. Then Dr. Yvonne Whitfield arrives.

Bold, unapologetic, and openly grieving her late wife, Yvonne sees through Eleanor's carefully constructed walls from day one. As they collaborate on a lecture series about women's voices through history, Eleanor faces an impossible choice: maintain the invisibility that's kept her safe for four decades, or risk everything for the intoxicating woman who makes her feel alive for the first time.

A tender, sensual story about choosing authenticity over safety, discovering passion at any age, and learning that it's never too late to become whole.
