More than a year later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend's bookstore reduced to rubble.

Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elise's desperate quest to find out what happened to her daughter ultimately leads her to New York and to Juliette one final, fateful time.
