Some mysteries won't stay buried in the past.

In 1941, a young woman faced the firing squad at Mauthausen Concentration Camp with one unrevealed secret as her only comfort. Sixty years later, a family mystery unfolds as Darby Evans struggles to calm her cancer-ravaged grandmother who calls the name of "Tatianna" in her dying hours. A deathbed promise launches Darby on a journey across the world and into the secrets of Nazi-occupied Austria —a journey full of dead ends, shocking stories, and dangerous men who want a share in her grandmother's lost inheritance. As Darby seeks answers, her search opens old wounds, incites new dangers, discovers new love, and offers healing to six decades of a long winter's sorrow.

"Winter Passing will enter a place deep inside your heart as you read it . . . and will be one of those stories you carry with you always."—Robin Jones Gunn, best-selling author
