Used book – Les yeux de l'innocence, Anna Adams, Françoise Fouche

A tragedy separated Van and Cassie. A rape whose fruit bears a name full of love: Hope. To raise Hope, her granddaughter, surround her with tenderness despite everything, and protect her from pity as well as shame, Cassie chose to leave everything – her hometown, her family, and especially Van, her husband, her only love, whose gaze on her and her child she could not bear. Heartbroken, she even filed for divorce and stopped all communication. But five years after the tragedy, as everyone's fate seemed definitively sealed, the phone rings at Cassie's house: It's Van... Cassie's father is dying... She can't not go back. Upset, caught up by her past, Cassie hits the road to say goodbye to her father, with no other choice but to take her little Hope with her. She will have to face Van. Van who, for the first time, will meet Hope with her innocent big eyes...
