Used book – The Magnolia Story, Jean Brashear, Marie-Pierre Corrin

The scent of magnolias... That's the only memory that comes back to Bella when she wonders what her life was like before the accident that stole her memory—an accident that happened two weeks earlier, far from the South where it seems she was born. What was she doing thousands of miles from home? Is there someone waiting for her somewhere, there? A family, a man?... Mystery. Just as Bella already fears she will never find answers to her questions, the incredible happens: her past comes knocking at her door in the person of a certain James Parker who claims to be... her husband. Bella sees James only as an attractive stranger, but she is overwhelmed. So, she's not alone in the world! Apparently as moved as she is, James tells her about their life, their marriage, their home. Carried by a wild hope, Bella almost dares to believe the impossible. But suddenly doubt creeps in: because when she asks him why, on the day of the accident, she was so far from the land of magnolias—so far from him—James becomes inexplicably troubled...
