Anna, an American born beauty, and her Uncle Ivan, her mother's only brother, find more than their share of love, loss, and excitement, during a bloody war. A German war that would become World War II, leaving an indelible mark in the history of the world. Anna had come to Germany to learn more about her mother, who had died tragically when she was very young. Ivan, after years of estrangement from Anna and her father, offered them both a welcome. Not just to Germany, but also to a place he had long thought was stone cold, his heart. Together, Anna and Ivan learned about each other; Anna found out about her true self, and just how much courage and decency there was in a world turned upside down by hatred.
