Set in Idaho during the first world war, Hattie Clark is sixty-eight and an advocate of peace. Kirsta Strom, newly hired assistant in Hattie's bookstore and a German baronness and refugee, has fallen under the mysterious spell cast by a local shyster lawyer who keeps Kirsta under constant surveillance. Hattie grows to care for Kirsta and her daughter Patrina, and defends them not only from the lawyer but also against the cruelty of the townspeople who hate anyone of German descent. The fight against prejudce becomes Hattie's crusade when her adopted son, Toby, falls in love with Kirsta and asks Hattie to watch over her while he is abroad--ironically battling Kirsta's own countrymen.

Over time Hattie learns of Kirsta's past, but it's not until she risks her life to save the Stroms that she learns the truth--a tale of spies, sabotage, betrayal and a woman's loyalty to her dead husband.
