Set in France, the Sahara, and the USA, this trilogy follows an innocent, provincial young woman as she adapts first to life as a vet in Paris, then to the new self she was not aware of, and finally to motherhood. Anything but predictable, she, her partner, and son are forced to face their deepest fears as they become ensnared in their family histories and the nightmare of international terrorism.

In the third part of this trilogy, Parisian vet Marie-Clair, ex-model Zia, and their adopted son Michel have resumed their life in Paris. As the more mature Michel is now a journalist, his parents settle back into a pleasant routine. But the trio’s thirst for understanding where they came from and why the world is as it is prompts them once more to investigate the past in pursuit of social justice.
