| Summary: | When Emily is laid off from her newspaper job, she finds herself completely at sea... until the day she receives a beautiful, haunting painting of a young woman standing at the edge of a sugarcane field. The woman is recognizable as her grandmother - and the painting arrives with no identification other than a handwritten note saying, "He never stopped loving her." Emily is hungry to learn about her family roots, so she begins to dig. Her trail leads her to the World War II POW internment camps of Florida, where thousands of German prisoners worked for American farmers... and sometimes fell in love with American women. But how does this all connect to the painting? The answer will take Emily from the Everglades to Munich and back to the Atlanta art scene. Along the way, she finds herself tempted to tear down her carefully tended walls; will this journey bring her the strength to confront her secrets at last? --adapted from back cover. |
