In her award-winning wildlife photographs, Charlotte Gray captures all the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

But this time she's doing it with hard-won strength, experience, and the wisdom to know when to forgive, when to let go, and how to walk into the sunshine and claim the support and love she deserves . . .
