There are rumours that anti-Jewish sentiment is on the rise, but Annelise and her parents can't quite believe that it will affect them. Annelise and her husband are given the chance to leave for America, but they must go without her parents, whose future and safety are uncertain. Two generations later, Annelise's granddaughter, Clare, stumbles upon a trove of her grandmother's letters from Germany. Here she sees the history of her family's sacrifices in a new light, and suddenly she's faced with an impossible choice: the past, or her future.
