520    "A heartrending story about a young mother's fight to keep
       her daughter and the winds of fortune that tear them apart,
       by the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of 
       Fragile Things and The Last Year of the War. California, 
       1938--When she loses her parents in an accident, sixteen-
       year-old Rosanne is taken in by the owners of the vineyard
       where she has lived her whole life as the vinedresser's 
       daughter. She moves into Celine and Truman Calvert's 
       spacious house with a secret, however--Rosie sees colors 
       when she hears sound. She promised her mother she'd never 
       reveal her little-understood ability to anyone, but the 
       weight of her isolation and grief proves too much for her.
       Driven by her loneliness, she not only breaks the vow to 
       her mother, but in a desperate moment lets down her guard 
       and ends up pregnant. Banished by the Calverts, Rosanne 
       believes she is bound for a home for unwed mothers, and 
       having lost her family, she treasures her pregnancy as the
       chance for a future one. But she soon finds out she is not
       going to a home of any kind, but to a place far worse than
       anything she could have imagined. Austria, 1947--After 
       witnessing firsthand Adolf Hitler's brutal pursuit of 
       hereditary purity--especially with regard to "different 
       children"--Helen Calvert is ready to return to America for
       good. But when she arrives at her brother's peaceful 
       vineyard after decades working abroad, she is shocked to 
       learn what really happened nine years earlier to the 
       vinedresser's daughter, a girl whom Helen had long ago 
       befriended. In her determination to find Rosanne, Helen 
       discovers that while the war was won in Europe, there are 
       still terrifying battles to be fought at home"--|cProvided
