"2019: As Alison Wiley sorts through her mother’s lifetime of belongings, she’s drawn into a seventy-four-year-old family mystery that forever changes her future. 1945: When Jack Barton volunteers for a dangerous mission into Nazi-occupied Europe, he finds himself caught up in something beyond his imagination. A story of love and loss, cruelty and kindness, guilt and redemption, EO-N’s sweeping narrative takes readers on a riveting journey—from the destruction and cruelty of war to the relentless pressures of contemporary corporate greed—weaving together five seemingly separate lives to remind us that individual actions matter and that courage comes in many forms."--
