Jeden dům, dvě ženy, a rodinná tajemství, úzkostlivě skrývaná po generace, mohou znovu ožít… Rebecca se po smrti své matky probírá jejím prázdným bytem. Začne dopisy, které se hromadí na rohožce, a najde obálku označenou poštou z Cornwallu. V ní se nachází dopis, který navždy změní její život: zoufalou prosbu matčiny starší sestřenice Olivie o pomoc při záchraně jejího milovaného domu. Rebecca se únikem do Chynalls rozhodne vyřešit i svou životní situaci, na místě nicméně zjišťuje, že se dům hroutí od základů a že Olivia uvízla v nemocnici bez naděje na propuštění, dokud její dům nebude znovu obyvatelný. Jakkoliv vyděšená Rebecca je, do práce se pustí se vší vervou. Jak ale odlupuje vrstvy barvy, omítky a špíny, odhaluje též tajemství pohřbená více než sedmdesát let. Tajemství z doby, kdy byla Olivia mladá, zuřila druhá světová válka a za každým rohem číhalo nebezpečí a romantika… Fascinující příběh procházející generacemi o odvaze mladé ženy tváří v tvář válce a o tom, kam až je schopna zajít, aby ochránila ty, které miluje, před těmi nejnečekanějšími nepřáteli.
