Set in the years following World War II, the story follows an American officer's wife in occupied Germany who is moved to help find homes for the mixed-race children of German mothers and Black American GIs — a decision whose ripple effects reach across decades and continents, touching a soldier who falls in love in Germany and, years later, a young woman in 1960s Maryland uncovering a hidden piece of her own identity. Woven together, these three lives explore how one woman's vision can shape generations, and how love — familial, parental, forbidden, even love of self — can transcend it all. Come ready for rich conversation about history, identity, and belonging with the author herself.
