Een wereld verscheurd door oorlog, twee families voor altijd verbonden door geheimen... Als kind bracht Julia Forrester vele gelukkige uren door in de kas van het landgoed Wharton Park, waar haar grootvader de tropische planten verzorgde. Als ze jaren later getroffen wordt door een familietragedie, keert Julia terug naar Wharton Park, waar ze zich altijd zo thuis voelde. Het huis is inmiddels geërfd door de charismatische Kit Crawford, die het grondig laat renoveren. Daarbij wordt een decennia oud dagboek ontdekt, waarmee Julia en Kit naar Julia's grootmoeder gaan. Zij vertelt hun over de gebeurtenissen die Wharton Park voor altijd hebben veranderd. Zo komen zij terecht in de oorlogsjaren, in de wereld van het jonge stel Olivia en Harry Crawford, die gedreven door passie en plichtsbesef het geluk van toekomstige generaties zullen beïnvloeden. Ook dat van Julia... Terug naar Wharton Park voert de lezer mee van het door de Tweede Wereldoorlog geteisterde Europa en Thailand naar het hedendaagse Engeland en de Provence.
