Having lost her job after a botched investigation, she has nothing but time. At her great-aunt's 150-year-old farmhouse Elizabeth uncovers a series of mysterious items, locked doors-- and hidden graves. The stories of two women who lived in this house emerge as testaments to love, resilience, and courage in the face of war, racism, and misunderstanding. And Elizabeth discovers that the past is never as past as we might like to think. -- adapted from back cover
