When Emily Emerson is made redundant from her reporting job, she finds herself completely adrift. Then, one day, she receives a beautiful painting of her grandmother standing at the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky, and a handwritten note saying, ‘He never stopped loving her’. Emily begins to dig and soon uncovers a trail leading her to the POW internment camps of 1940s Florida, where German prisoners worked for American farmers and sometimes fell in love with American women. But how does this all connect to the painting? What secrets will Emily uncover about her family, and how will this change her future?
