Publisher's Synopsis

The inspiration for the beloved film that became a TikTok sensation

An extraordinary tale of one woman's journey of resilience, courage, and self-discovery amidst the turmoil of World War II.

Olivia Dunne, a studious minister's daughter who dreams of becoming an archaeologist, never thought that WWII would affect her quiet life in Denver. But when an exhilarating flirtation reshapes her life, she finds herself in a rural Colorado outpost, married to a man she hardly knows.

Overwhelmed by loneliness, Olivia tentatively tries to establish a new life, finding much-needed friendship and solace in two Japanese-American sisters from a nearby internment camp. When Olivia unwittingly becomes an accomplice to a crime that tests her beliefs about trust and love, she must confront her own desires and reconcile them with the harsh realities of the world around her.
