When Annaliese discovers a hidden doily and a mysterious poem dating back to World War II she realizes they aren't the only hidden secrets waiting in the old Dutch bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, chasing half-forgotten mysteries isn't how she's supposed to be spending her time in the Netherlands. Even though she's of Dutch decent, she's here to be involved in an international graduate program. But an unshakable yearning for the past and the timely help of a handsome stranger makes her begin to question if her studies are the real reason she's in Holland. Unraveling the mystery of these heroic deeds done so long ago may put her at risk of being expelled from her program and losing a career she has always wanted, but could being in the Netherlands be more than a coincidence?
