If the Nazis stole your house, wouldn't you be justified in stealing it back now that the war is over? When Tamar Feldman admits to her husband, Daniel, and mentor, Neelie Visser, that she broke into her former home, they scold her for taking such a risk. Tamar is tired of being careful. She's tired of living in the present, as if the past doesn't matter. But the painting of the violin girl in her former bedroom draws her back again and again. She finally steals the painting to return it to its former owner. Now maybe this small act of justice will help Tamar to start to heal. When Neelie sees the painting, she reveals a secret about it that will take the three of them on a quest to Amsterdam and Paris to find justice, forgiveness, and new beginnings. What Tamar doesn't realize is the past isn't finished with her yet; in fact, it's as close as the walls in her house and even follows her to Paris.
