Secrets a mother could never share... consequences a daughter could not redeem.
All her life, Hannah Sterling yearned for a closer relationship with her estranged mother. But when death closes that door, Hannah determines to unlock the secrets of Lieselotte's past and is shocked to discover she has a grandfather still living in Germany.
Thirty years earlier, as Hitler begins his march through Europe, Lieselotte's father ascends the Nazi ranks. A proper marriage for his only daughter could advance his career, but Lieselotte is in love, and her beloved, who secretly works against the Reich, is far from an ideal match. Yet Lieselotte never imagined how far her father would go to ensure her cooperation, or how their actions would echo through generations.
Both Hannah and Lieselotte's stories unfold as Hannah travels to Berlin to meet her grandfather, who is hiding wartime secrets of his own. Longing for connection yet shaken by all she uncovers, Hannah must decide if she can atone for her family's tragic past... and how their legacy will shape her future.
