Lone Star is another unforgettable love story from the best-selling author of Tully and The Bronze Horseman. Life isn’t about the destination, but the journey… Chloe is weeks away from college when she embarks on a great European adventure with her boyfriend and her two best friends. Their destination is Barcelona with its promise of romance and mystery, but first they must detour through the historic cities of Eastern Europe to settle an old family debt. As they traverse the unfamiliar landscape of the post-Communist world, Chloe meets a boy on a train who is going off to war. Johnny carries a guitar, an easy smile — and a lifetime of secrets. The trip becomes a treacherous journey into Europe’s and Johnny’s darkest past — a journey that threatens to shatter the bonds that hold together four lifelong friends. From Riga to Treblinka to Trieste, Chloe sees her future begin to fray as unbidden desires rise to the surface. For Chloe and Johnny only one thing is certain: whatever their destination, their lives will never be the same.
