1904, Chudniv, Ukraine. Playing hide-and-seek in bucolic
fields of sunflowers, young Jakob never imagines the
horrific secrets he will carry as he and his brother escape
through genocide-ridden Eastern Europe.
1994, South
Haven, Michigan. At age 94, time is running out for any hope
that Jakob can be free from his burden of
guilt.
When Jakob's wife dies, he and his
daughter, Nel, are forced to face the realities of his
worsening dementia—including a near-naked, midnight jaunt
down the middle of main street—as well as emerging shadows
Nel had no idea lay beneath her father's beloved,
curmudgeonly ways.
While Nel navigates the
restoration and sale of Jakob's dilapidated lake house, her
high school sweetheart shows up in town, along with
unexpected correspondence from Ukraine. And when she
discovers a mysterious gemstone in Jakob's old lapidary
room, Jakob's condition worsens as he begins having
flashbacks about his baby sister from nearly a century
past.
As father and daughter race against time to
discover the truth behind Jackob's fragmented memories, the
God they have both been running from shows that he redeems
not only broken years, but also the future.
