The Girl Who Waited, (Paperback)

<p>Some promises are not made once. They are made again and again, in every life that remembers how.</p><p>When seven-year-old Nic Hale moves to a quiet village on the edge of the English countryside, he finds more than a new home. He finds Emma - a girl who lives near an orchard, who walks with him to the top of a hill, who sits beneath an ancient oak tree and speaks of waiting as though she already knows what it means.</p><p>Then Nic falls. And Emma disappears.</p><p>But she does not leave.</p><p><i>The Girl Who Waited</i> is a novel about love that does not end when it should, memory that survives beyond the boundaries of a single life, and the quiet, persistent pull of a promise made beneath an oak tree - a promise that crosses time, returns in new forms, and finds its way home.</p><p>Spanning decades and generations, from a boy who wakes from a coma with a name he cannot explain, to a painter who sees the same face in every canvas he creates, to a girl born into a family that has always known, without knowing why, that something unfinished was waiting to be completed - this is a story about the kind of love that does not ask permission from time.</p><p>It only asks to be remembered.</p><p><i>"Between one life and the next, there is a place where promises wait. Patient. Unnamed. Unchanged. Love does not need a body to remember. It only needs a reason."</i></p>
