A tattered love letter, a hidden identity, and a devastating wartime secret forty years in the making.

In 1980s England, Karen Cartwright is called home to nurse her ailing father. The house she grew up in has always felt haunted by the shadow of her mother, Elizabeth—a shy, fearful dressmaker who tragically took her own life years before. While packing up the dusty family home, Karen uncovers a hidden box containing a vintage photograph and a stranger’s passionate love letter postmarked from Germany right after World War II.

As Karen begins to unravel the mystery, she realizes everything she knew about her mother was a lie. Her name wasn’t even Elizabeth.
