Sometimes secrets keep people alive; sometimes they cast doubt and suspicion.
Gustav Braun is an ex-emissary for the French government. After his failure to stop an assassination attempt, his prospects for future employment disappear. German by birth, he decides to leave France and return to his native homeland...and his wife.
He has been gone for a very long time and fears of her acceptance have him stalling his journey.
Teresa Braun has waited patiently for her husband's return. While he gallivanted across Europe saving the world, she's been forced to care for their home and possessions. The only form of communication with her husband was through letters stuffed secretly in a public grove.
With religious tensions growing at home and abroad, secrets can be one's own worst enemy. And with some local Germans determined to protect their country from religious change, Teresa's secret activities label her as a dissident.
Will the letters that shared Gustav and Teresa's love save Teresa or be her doom?
