A story about strength, love and new beginnings

Sometimes it only takes a moment to change everything - a breath, a decision, a person. This story tells of Lisa, a woman who finds the courage to step out of the darkness, and of Erik, who teaches her to believe in trust again.

Two lost souls meet on the shores of Lake Constance - she, scarred by violence and flight, he, broken by loss and silence. Between wind, water and unspoken feelings, something arises that neither of them had planned: Hope.

When life forces you to start over

Lisa escapes from a nightmare she has endured for too long. With nothing but a bag, a cat and fear breathing down her neck, she searches for a place where she can breathe. She finds shelter on Lake Constance - and a man who doesn't ask her who she was, but who she is.

But the past cannot simply be shaken off. While Lisa slowly gains confidence, the shadow she wanted to escape returns. And when fate takes her to the lake a second time, she has to fight - for herself, for her life and for a love she never sought.

A love story that gets under your skin

This book is not about perfect love, but about real love. Of the quiet moments that heal. Of the wounds that are allowed to remain. And about the power of finding yourself again when you think you've lost everything.

An emotional, intense novel about survival, trust and second chances - with an ending that is both quiet and hopeful.

For everyone who believes in the good - even after the storm

This story is for every woman who has ever said to herself: I can't take any more.

And who has still managed to keep going.

A book that gives courage, touches the heart and shows that love is not always loud - sometimes it's just there.

Like the water by the lake. Quietly. Patiently. And infinitely strong.
