About the book
Reimagined by New York Times bestselling author Kristin Harmel, comes a freshly packaged and modernized edition of what critics have called ‘one of her best’ (RT Book Reviews) historical novels.
Emily Emerson has grown accustomed to solitude; her father left the family when she was young, her mother passed away when she turned eighteen, and now her treasured grandmother has also left this world. After losing her job as a reporter, Emily finds herself lost...until the day she receives a stunning painting of a young woman standing in a sugarcane field under a violet sky. The woman in the painting bears a striking resemblance to her grandmother, but the artwork arrived with only a handwritten note that reads, ‘He never stopped loving her...’
Intrigued, Emily delves into the past and discovers a captivating chapter in American history. Her investigation leads her to the POW internment camps in 1940s Florida, where German prisoners toiled for American farmers...and found themselves entwined in romance with American women. How does this relate to the mysterious painting? The quest for answers takes Emily on a journey that spans from the sweltering Everglades to Munich, Germany and beyond.
