"In the wake of his mother's death, Harry doesn't know where to start. Her house is filled to the brim with objects of every kind. As he begins to sort through the objects, he must also deal with the powerful emotions each conjures up. To complicate matters further, his ex-girlfriend, Tabitha, turns up on the doorstep clutching a letter containing instructions to help him find a priceless jewelry box hidden among the mess. How his mother received this treasure--stolen from the Nazis and hidden since the war over seventy-five year ago--he doesn't know. Harry find comfort in the search, but there are secrets in his life that prevent him from being truly happy. Tabitha has her own problems now thanks to some disastrous choices along the way. Harry is hiding from his past, Tabitha is doing her best to hide from her present, and the box contains secrets from his mother's past that have helped shape both of their lives."--Page 4 of cover
