Johanna's great-grandfather is missing: In what is now the Republic of Moldova, and has been since 1944. An ancient family secret, because Liesel, Johanna's grandmother, was still a child during the war and she never processed the grief over her missing father. But then Edgar, Liesel's husband, discovers hundreds of military mail letters in the basement of their house. A search for clues begins and takes them far over 1,800 kilometers and over eighty years into the past.
