Sylvie Lee’s life is in shambles, when she receives word that her grandmother is gravely ill, she hops onto a plane for Holland and back to the land of her childhood. 

When Sylvie never returns home, her concerned sister, Amy travels to Holland to find her sister. 

Told in interweaving timelines through the point of view of Amy, Sylvie, and their mother; this story holds big surprises.
