So this is where the novel ends with Morgan ringing the doorbell. All Morgan was is to know if Emily is all right and wants to ask for forgiveness. At the moment they are outside the house where Emily Maxwell lives, the girl who was in the accident in which Morgan was involved. Morgan is now back at university, studying art restoration. The epilogue shows us Morgan and Oliver in October. So Morgan returns to Anna and Oliver with the certain that she is Anna Dale’s great grand daughter. Oliver encourages to call her parents, who she hasn’t talked to since she was in prison, so she reluctantly agrees, and her father confirms that his father was born in Edenton and had red hair. Morgan agrees that it is quite a coincidence, but she doubts that her grandfather and Anna’s baby were one and the same. Morgan’s family name is Christopher, and Anna remembers that the family who adopted the child she had by Martin Dappler was called Christopher. Anna says that she knows why Jesse chose Morgan to restore the mural. Actually, Peter, the young student that worked on the mural back then, was the police chief and helped clear Jesse’s name.Īs Anna/Judith has a look at the mural and the notice about Morgan, she has another surprise. When Jesse returned to North Carolina in the 1970s, she was worried about him because of what happened in 1940, but things were okay. He was there, and after that, they rekindled their friendship, and for the first time they could be friends as equals. He took her to the exhibition of a young black artist, and she had the hunch it could be Jesse. When Morgan asks her about Jesse, Anna explains that she got reacquainted with Jesse through her husband, who was an art dealer. Anna doesn’t even remember leaving the diary behind, and she admits that it was a very confusing time.

Morgan explains that she restored the mural and read the diary that Anna left with Nellie.

This is the confirmation that Morgan needed, and when she asks if she is actually Anna, the artist confirms it. When Judith and her assistant go into the gallery and Judith sees the mural, she feels weak and asks for a seat. Judith tells her that her assistant discarded the invitation without telling her anything on the assumption that she wouldn’t travel, and then Judith found the invitation that morning and knew she wouldn’t miss the opening for anything in the world. Morgan realises that the woman is Judith/Anna, and when she approaches, her hunch is confirmed. A woman in her sixties gets out and helps an older woman. The day passes quickly, and then that afternoon, a van stops before the gallery. Lisa is warm to her and even gives her a hug, thanking her for helping her keep the house. On the day of the gallery opening Morgan is very proud when she finally sees the mural hanging in the foyer.
