“Susan Wiggs always knows how to get to the heart of the matter -- and into the hearts and minds of her readers. Map of the Heart proves this again, with a tender-hearted portrayal of the widowed mother of a teenaged daughter who finds herself slowly reawakening to the possibilities of life -- and love -- after a devastating loss, as she discovers long-hidden family secrets rooted in her father’s hardscrabble life in a Nazi-occupied village in France. With Map of the Heart, Wiggs seamlessly melds historical drama with contemporary romance.” - Mary Kay Andrews
