Known for her exquisite looks, grace, wit, and intelligence, April Bernard was once the most sought after woman from Cairo to Buenos Aires. The global network of high-society men all felt a pang of jealousy when she consented to marry her inamorato William - the dashing heir to the Jorgenson fortune. With the world at their feet, the stunning couple wiled away their days flying from one party to the next, mingling with heads of state and the most famous of heroes, enjoying all the benefits of their wealth and beauty. Although she led a life of whim and leisure, April’s love for William was genuine and sustained her need for a sense of connection and belonging. Unknown to those around her, April suffered a profound fear of losing her position as a desirable woman. Unable to form strong emotional bonds with anyone but William, her only source of connection to other people was through their fawning admiration. This dark seed of insecurity existed in her heart long before the doomed flight from Quito to Chicago that forever changed her life.
