The sole survivor of his engineering team after an explosion in Afghanistan, Link Morgan comes home to Lancaster County to recuperate. Blaming himself for living when the others died, he vows never to be responsible for anyone again. But his determination is tested when he discovers a suitcase hidden inside teh wall of the house he's remodeling - a suitcase belonging to a woman who supposedly left her husband and young daughter twenty-five years ago.
Children's book illustrator Marisa Angelo has only one aim when she learns of the discovery - to find the truth about her mother's disappearance. She has been haunted all her life by the image of her mother walking away from her, leaving Marisa with a hole in her heart nothing can fill. She's coped by never letting anyone see the real Marisa, because if they do, they'd see how unlovable she is. Now she must find the answers or be forever less than whole.
It's commonly believed that Marisa's mother ran back to her Amish family in the Midwest, unable to face living in her husband's English world any longer. Now, with the finding of the suitcase, it seems that what everyone believed may not be true. Link and Marisa reluctantly join forces to find the answers - Link because the bloodstained suitcase seems to implicate his uncle, who left him the house, and Marisa because she her fears her father may be implicated in her mother's disppearance.
The secret of Marisa's mother's disappearance must lie buried somewhere in the pastoral farmland and quaint Amish settlements of Lancaster County. But the more Marisa searches, the greater the danger she is in. Someone, either Amish or English, doesn't want the truth of the disappearance ever to come to light, and he will kill to be sure that secret stays buried forever.
